[GNC] Operation is still running, wait for it to complete before quitting

[David Carlson]

I have occasionally seen that release of GnuCash do something similar to
that when it crashes.  In my case I just re-start it and click open anyway
at the prompt.  Then I check to see if whatever I was doing completed or if
I lost any recent keystrokes.  Usually there is little or nothing missing
because I do frequent saves before starting anything involving a lot of
keystrokes.
