[GNC] create desktop icons for GNC 4.9 Flatpak on Ubuntu

[Adrien Monteleone]

Ha! Best of luck with the keyboard! Check into (Ubuntu) Settings > 
Universal Access > Typing > Screen Keyboard.

This will pop-up an on-screen keyboard when a typing field has focus. 
That's not the best workaround, but it will help a bit.

As for GnuCash, what about the USB access info from the Wiki?

If you've never gotten the flatpak to work right, I'd suspect that is 
the issue.

So try this in order from a terminal:

1. sudo flatpak override org.gnucash.GnuCash --filesystem=$PATH_TO_USB_DRIVE

(that is all one line)

2. flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash /media/jeffrey/'Mac 
Drive'/Ledgers/Dad/Dad.gnucash

(again all one line)

If that works, close GnuCash and try clicking your desktop shortcut 
again. You should be good to go.

If that doesn't work, try moving a copy of the file to your Home folder, 
then trying from a terminal:

flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash /home/jeffrey/Dad.gnucash

If that doesn't work either, something else is wrong.

Adrien
