[GNC] Startup issue - two windows

[David Carlson]

I think this sort of problem is more likely to occur if you have a fairly
low resolution monitor or have your display driver set for a lower
resolution than your display can show.  It may be necessary to take GnuCash
out of full screen mode to see what is behind it if Alt-Tab or Window-Tab
doesn't get you there.  Just out of curiosity, what is your display
resolution?
