This looks like a problem with the Scheduled Transaction (SX) window
rather than a general focus problem.
Try this in order:
1. Uncheck: Preferences > Scheduled Transactions > Since Last Run > 'Run
when data file opened'.
Does the Splash still appear to hang?
Can you close the Tip window?
2. Re-check the above, then uncheck: 'Show notification window'
same questions
3. Re-check both of the above, and also make sure 'Review created
transactions' is checked.
again - same questions
The idea here is that either the SX window or a specific SX is producing
a hang condition with the splash screen. (It is as if Splash is waiting
for the SX window to be dismissed before closing itself)
I can't duplicate that situation. I have several SXs and the Splash
closes itself just fine and the SX window doesn't control focus or
prevent me from closing other windows. (I also have the Bills/Invoices
Due Reminder windows opening at start)
I haven't yet tested on Fedora, but can do that next. If still can't get
it to repeat, then my money is on a specific SX being the issue.
Did you create or edit an SX before this problem started? (there might
be a specific SX causing the problem)

Your screenshot came through, thanks.
Here is another one after moving some of the windows around, shutdown,
restart.
Also, when hung like this, I can move all windows except for the Splash one.
First, that looks like the Splash Screen is either hung, or you just
took the screen shot before it finished. But your earlier reply seem to
indicate it is hanging. (or just really slow at finishing loading and
then exiting)
The system is hung like this for several minutes.
Normally, Gnucash starts up in one second.
Second, the transient windows remember their place. So before you close
them, move them to a corner of the screen away from the center. When you
re-start GnuCash, they should re-open where you left them. This will
help with the stacking problem.
Did that, which can be seen in the screenshot here.
Third, Although the tip pops up right after the splash for me, it stays
in focus until the SX window comes up, which steals it. But I can still
click in the tip window to gain focus and close it. (the Splash screen
closes itself)
I can click on the Tip window. It gets focus. But, when I click on Close
there,
nothing happens.
Can you not click on the tip window indicator in the dock to gain focus?
When I click on Tip window in dock at bottom of screen,
several windows disappear. Click again, and they re-appear.
Those windows are:
Tip
Accounts
None scheduled
Leaving just the splash window.
Just found out that if I click Close on the None scheduled window,
it closes and the Splash window closes. Then I can click on Close
in the Tip window and it closes.
Finally, you can turn off both the splash screen and/or the Tip of the
Day if they are causing problems. (Preferences > General)
I have discovered that if I press Esc, then windows close and
everything is OK.
