[GNC] How do I print a transaction register

[Charlie Morrison]

Jerry, I don't use Linux Mint, but I'll try to help. Maybe somebody else 
that is familiar with Mint can chime in.

If you launch Gnucash by clicking an icon or from the start menu, you 
should be able to edit that icon or menu item by right clicking on it, 
select edit or properties, and modify
the command to start Gnucash to the one that works for you 
( WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash ).  
There may be several tabs on the dialog box you get when you right click 
and select edit, so look and find the one with the command to start 
Gnucash and try to modify it to the other command.

Hope this is useful but since I've never used Mint it's a shot in the 
dark.  Good luck.
