BE CAREFUL --- this control of a resource by having the existence of a 
lock file indicate "resource in use" is a VERY common solution to 
restricting use to "a single concurrent user" (allow multiple sequential 
access but not multiple simultaneous access). OTHER applications might 
be creating .lck files besides gnucash. So.......

1) Delete "any" .lck files only if you have your gnucash files in a 
directory reserved for just the.

2) Otherwise --- before deleting a .lck file make sure it is not a lock 
file from some other application.
