Here is another one after moving some of the windows around, shutdown,
restart.
Also, when hung like this, I can move all windows except for the Splash one.

The system is hung like this for several minutes.
Normally, Gnucash starts up in one second.

Did that, which can be seen in the screenshot here.

I can click on the Tip window.  It gets focus.  But, when I click on Close
there,
nothing happens.

When I click on Tip window in dock at bottom of screen,
several windows disappear.  Click again, and they re-appear.
Those windows are:
  Tip
  Accounts
  None scheduled
Leaving just the splash window.

Just found out that if I click Close on the None scheduled window,
it closes and the Splash window closes.  Then I can click on Close
in the Tip window and it closes.

I have discovered that if I press Esc, then windows close and
everything is OK.
