Yeah that is what I meant, my post wasnt so clear.

The only reason I got that impression was I thought their was a build 
flag to build it without the interface.   (--disable-gui 
   build without the GNOME GUI components of Gnucash).

So a lot of the code for the storage and calculations etc are mixed up 
with gui code? Or is that code simple enough and all the problems are 
with displaying the information?

I didnt know it would be hard to support gtk1 and gtk2 but I am newish 
to gnome development.

Looking forward to that list of tasks David and if anything (even if it 
is boring, mundane stuff) springs to mind let me know.

Best wishes
