Robert,

I have run gnucash in a container and used x-forwarding successfully to 
access it from my desktop. The only functions that don't work in this 
mode are the help and tutorial and concepts guide. These are available 
separately via browser anyway, so I don't view that as a problem.

If that works for your usecase, I can walk you through the details.

Graham.
