Hi Derek,

FWIW, the default gnome2 fonts seem to be considerable smaller than
the gnome-1.4 fonts, and so, potentially, it might fit on smaller
screens. Most of the size of gnucash is still font-related, rather than
decorations.  I've forgotten if one can change the default in 1.4,
but if so, that might be a work-around.

One very minor comment: the chances of data corruption increase slightly
for embedded sql-anything.  If the app has any stray pointers, there's
a larger chance that they'll point into a data area.  I sense that this 
is low, but I feel strangely compelled to talk about it :-(

Do you have a URL where I can read about that?  I was hoping to put 
an object generic SQL-ization into qof.

Huh? 

--linas

p.s. I have a strong urge to rename everything in the QOF module into
a consistent naming convention. I have an exactly counterbalancing sense
that this is a waste of time.  Comments?
