[GNC] gnucash won't start on Mac

[Robert Kesterson]

Do you have multiple monitors?  The latest version would not open for me 
on my multi-monitor Mac at first either.  From looking at the crash 
reports, I surmised that it was trying to get a screen size or something 
and failing.  On a hunch, I turned off “displays have separate 
spaces” in my system preferences, logged out and back in, then started 
GnuCash.  It opened fine.  I then re-enabled “displays have separate 
spaces”, logged out and back in, and GnuCash has worked fine ever 
since.
