[GNC] Segmentation Fault GC 3.5

[Mike stagl]

I don't know how you figured that out, but you are correct!

I am using the MATE desktop on my Debian 9 laptop, so I tried:

    echo $GTK_IM_MODULE

That reurned: xim.

So I ran:

    export $GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"

Then I opened GnuCash. Everything appears to work thus far!

Now I just need to figure our how to make the GTK_IM_MODULE change to
ibus persistent.

Thanks to Geert, John, and all the contributors!
