On a tangential note, the Zaurus uses Qt-Embedded, which doesn't come with
KDE libraries. A KDE port won't really help as far as the Zaurus is
concerned. Even if you could get a port running, I don't want to think about
how slow such a beast would be on the Z, with its 32MB of RAM and a pitifully
weak bus to secondary storage.

Given Z's positioning as a PDA, not a full PC, a more natural solution would
be to retrofit an existing Zaurus expense recorder with an "Sync with GnuCash"
feature. I wouldn't mind paying shareware fee for such a product.
