Thanks. I was chasing a ghost on that one.
John advised this has to do with the type of SLR window being used for
SX. One is modal, the other not. Which one you see depends on if
transactions were created and depends on your SX settings.
I guess my settings are such that I never get the modal
Peppermint 10 does use LXDE as a DE.
PepermintOS has gone to XFCE and the same pattern exhibits itself there.

I'm wondering if this has to do with certain package versions of parts

When I start a new installation of GNC, I go through this same snafu.
After I get past that, I immediately turn off running the auto create
feature and the start up notes. It was good to have the latter when I was

I find it odd though that the SX window is hogging focus. Perhaps this
is a Desktop/OS thing.
Mine is not. (on MacOS BigSur)
Though of course, I understand, all of us, regardless of OS are dealing
with GTK when using GnuCash, so I'm not *really* using Mac's desktop for
this app. (though maybe

The "no scheduled transactions" dialog is modal (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window) so it blocks the rest of GnuCash
until it's dismissed. Unfortunately that includes dismissing the splash screen
so that you can see it. I think the splash screen is getting pushed to the

Does the Splash still appear to hang?
Can you close the Tip window?

Thanks. That's weird. I use the same resolution with no issues. (though

Since switching to Windows mode, I have not had the issue at startup about

multi-display users.

I think this sort of problem is more likely to occur if you have a fairly

I still have the problem on Linux. Gnucash is running full screen.
The list of windows is:

That window is the GnuCash welcome(?) one.
