is anyone else having a problem with gnucash in wmii-3?  i'm finding that
after opening and closing it a few times, the "since last run" (scheduled

nowhere to be seen.  i know it's still running because i have a rule to tag
gnucash windows in wmiirc, and the "gnucash" view remains open.  if i get
the pid for it and kill it, the view closes.

if i then open gnucash in icewm, the main window opens minimized.  i bring
it to the forefront, maximize it, and close it, and then when i open it in
gnucash, it opens as it should.

i do know that gnucash windows act differently from other windows in -3,
somewhat as if they were floating windows, though they're not tagged with
"~" in /def/rules.  they jump around as actions are performed, sometimes
covering the bar.  i suspect that the main window is running fine but has
jumped to a geometry that places it off the screen.  in -2, gnucash windows
acted like any others.
Don't know the reason, and haven't investigated, but I suspect it is bad X windows "hints" to the WM. I'm hoping that someone with more X knowledge can explain. Anyway, you can get the window back by just pressing $MODKEY-Shift-Spacebar, which sends the focused "invisible" gnucash main window to the non-floating world.
