[GNC] Can't get to GnuCash windows and menus

Did you solve this?

It sounds like you might be running GnuCash from inside the DMG.

Be sure to copy the GnuCash.app from the DMG window to your Applications 
folder via Finder. (that is, open another Finder window set to 
Applications and then drag & drop the icon from the DMG to the 
Applications window)

After you run the wizard and you try to exit GnuCash you should get a 
prompt to save your book/file. If not, you can always do so manually 
before exiting.

After that, you have to start GnuCash first, then use File > Open to 
choose your book. You can't double-click a GnuCash file to open it.

Regards,
Adrien
