Hang on to that log for now.  If it comes to it, I'll provide a way for 
you to send it directly to me.  How small does it get if you gzip it?

My thought on debuginfod is that when I just ran "gdb 
kmymoney.....appimage" gdb asked if I wanted to enable debuginfod.  
Saying yes had no effect on my Artix Linux system until I actually 
installed the debuginfod package.  I don't have an Ubuntu installation 
handy to check if there is any debuginfod package to install, or if 
setting that environment variable should be sufficient.  If debuginfod 
is actually working, you will know it, from the multiple console output 
lines about downloading symbols for various .so files.

For now, please respond to my other message - exactly what window(s) do 
you see, and when KMM "hangs" is any KMM window visible?  Do you 
actually see the tips (tip of the day?) window? That was removed some 
time ago (I'll have to check the git log for exactly when) so something 
funny is going on if you are actually seeing it.
