[GNC] Startup issue - two windows

I find it odd though that the SX window is hogging focus. Perhaps this 
is a Desktop/OS thing.

Mine is not. (on MacOS BigSur)

Though of course, I understand, all of us, regardless of OS are dealing 
with GTK when using GnuCash, so I'm not *really* using Mac's desktop for 
this app. (though maybe some code-translation rules apply?)

I've played around with this issue and can't seem to duplicate the 
condition where I get an SX window that tells me transactions were 
auto-created and requiring me to dismiss it before anything else frees 
up. (modal)

I'll play some more, but perhaps this is an SX setting issue? (I tell it 
to remind me, and auto-create, and I opt to review, but I've turned 
various of those off and on to no avail)

Regards,
Adrien

Unfortunately that includes dismissing the splash screen so that you can see it. I think the splash screen is getting pushed to the front by the loading status bar.
