Not odd at all, and not a bug in the sense that Microsoft did it on purpose
[1]. Windows executables have a couple of bytes in their preambles that say
what type they are. Console apps have stdin, stdout, and stderr and so they
require a shell window of some sort (CMD and Powershell being the most common)
and will open one for you if you launch them from Windows File Explorer. The
others redirect the basic FDs to NULL and so they don't need a shell window.
gnucash is a Windows program (no basic FDs) and gnucash-cli is a Console
program (has basic FDs).
