[GNC] Startup issue - two windows

[Fred Tydeman]

Without the Splash popup window, I now have
  Tip of the Day -- clicking Close in it is ignored
  There are no Scheduled Transactions... -- clicking Close works there
Now can close Tip of the Day

A few days ago, I moved the Tip of the Day window to the bottom right of my
screen.
It stayed there when I restarted GnuCash.  But, not any more.

I move Tip to bottom right of screen.  Quit GnuCash.  Start GnuCash
Tip of the Day is back in middle of screen.
