[GNC] How to Trigger Immediate Entry of a Scheduled Transaction?

[Jim Passmore]

Catching up on old emails...

Up until a few months ago, I was running Xubuntu (XFCE on Ubuntu) and
definitely saw the SX choices pop up in other places on the display.  Have
to admit I laughed at myself when I finally saw it--who knows how many
times I had clicked and just didn't see it displaced on the screen.  I was
lazy and never submitted a bug, figuring it was some combination of library
and driver that would get worked out.  I thought the problem went
away--maybe at least last year?--as I don't recall seeing it for a while.
(Ran Xubuntu for several years, but a few months ago decided to try Budgie.)

Since we're talking about where things draw on the screen, I do use a
desktop with 2 monitors.
