Progress has been made and here's what I have to report. My Mint 22.1 installation is new so when I installed GC through Mint's Software Manager I chose the Flatpak 5.11 GC because it was the most recent and my data pulled off windows was also version 5.11. I also allowed the installer to create the desktop shortcut.
I have found no way to get that shortcut to populate reports, but, as mentioned earlier I could use Terminal with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 and a GC call which ran my reports just fine but I couldn't combine that command in the shortcut the installer built. The solution ended up being very simple: create my own launcher. To do that I created a script file I called LaunchGnuCash.sh and set the properties to executable. The script file contains only one line: WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash I also set the script file read-only. Right-click on the desktop and select "create a new launcher", give it a name and point it to the script file and save. Since doing this, an update to GC 5.12 became available. I updated and the launcher still works correctly. So simple I could figure it out. Eventually. The very, very hard part for me was abandoning the certainty that the launcher created by the installer had to be correct. Here's hoping this helps someone else migrating from Redmond to Linux. A drop in the cyber-bucket of all the assistance provided by this brain trust.
