hung GNUCash

I am running version 3.4 Build ID: git 3.4.9-g7a13398e4+ (2019-01-03)

This version loads just fine when on the Ubuntu 18.04 desktop.  However, when I try to run it remotely displaying on XQuartz on my mac it hangs.   I have a SSH tunnel with XForwarding turned on and have verified other XWindows applications load just fine.

GnuCash hangs with gnucash/engine showing (see the attached image).

Here is the trace file with --debug turned on..

Comment 1 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-10 13:53:50 EST 
Please note this is NOT a duplicate of 796979 as I do not see a segfault anywhere, just a hang.    Also, none of the remedies suggested in 796979 work for me.
Comment 2 John Ralls 2019-01-10 16:29:48 EST 
The next message in my gnucash.trace is a couple of errors from loading modules, then some more gsettings.

Are you able to run gdb on Ubuntu and get a stack trace from the hung process?
Comment 3 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-10 16:38:56 EST 
I will try that.. may not happen for a day or so..
Comment 4 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-10 16:53:30 EST 
Okay, here's the best I could do..

(gdb) run

That looks like something's gone wrong with your X session. Is GnuCash using any resources in /usr/bin/top?
Comment 6 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-10 17:28:14 EST 
Yes, it is..
Comment 7 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-10 17:28:56 EST 
And I have no problems with any other X application...
Comment 8 John Ralls 2019-01-11 16:01:06 EST 
Are any of the other applications Gtk-based?

If it's actually doing something, as opposed to blocked waiting for a response from the Xserver, then you can try stopping it in the debugger, getting a backtrace, continue, wait a second, and repeat. Do that several times to see if the backtrace changes or if it's always in xcb_wait_for_reply64.

You might also try running it under strace. A list of system calls might point you towards what's failing.
Comment 9 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-11 16:22:09 EST 
I don't think any others are GTK-based.

To be honest, this is too esoteric of a bug for me, I will just use GnuCash on the Ubuntu desktop.
Comment 10 Nathan Bohlmann 2019-01-11 17:12:28 EST 
I am able to run various GNOME tools without incident.   Stuff like gnome-mines, gnome-mahjongg..
