Jerry, Charlie, There is a Linux Mint LM icon in the lower left of the screen which brings up the main Linux Mint menu. If you right click on that icon you will get a popup with EditMenu as one of the options. Select it and a Window will open. GNBuCash is usually installed under the Office group listed in the LH panelSelect it and the RH panel will display icons for the programs in that group. Selct GNuCash and then properties from the buttons at the far right which will display the Launcher instructions. The Command field usually has "gnucash %f" selected if it is an installed binary. Not sure what it is for a flatpack installation but it will be similar. To edit it click with your mouse before the g in gnucash and type in the appropriate instruction to isable webkit from the earlier posts. When you have it the same as the terminal command which worked for you then click OK then Close the menu editor and select GnuCash from the menu to check if it works.
