[GNC] Report charts are empty on fresh 4.8 install

[Jason Spencer]

That doesn't seem to help, at least the way I'm doing it. I tried both of
these commands in zsh and got the same result:
➜ WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
    ~
                             ~
➜ export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
     ~
➜ gnucash

Is there a way from within gnucash I can check that? Or is there some
package configuration I can check to see what libraries are doing the
compositing/rendering?
