For the record, yes, you can use gunzip, but you have to manually rename it
first.
Having said that, the name space is used throughout the file, so you might
have a large editing job to do... And such editing is not supported. Make
sure you have a good backup.

the files?
To "uncompress" the file you need to change your preferences in Gnucash
to turn off "Compress Files", then save your file. This will make the
file uncompressed.
Best practice would be to copy the uncompressed file to another file
before doing any sort of manual editing. That's a delicate thing that
could cause problems.
By the way, the file extensions of a file that is passed to any sort of
uncompression software is usually how the program determines how it will
handle the file. ".gnucash" is not a standard compressed file extension.
gunzip most likely is expecting ".gz". That being said, unless it's
explicitly stated in the Gnucash documentation somewhere, I wouldn't
assume the Gnucash compression algorithm is compatible with any
uncompression software.
