Good to hear. That revision also has my latest string changes and the improved 
tooltip displaying.

Ok. Not too good to hear, but certainly any kind of testing is very good in 
this stage.

If you can supply a 100%-reliable way of reproducing the crash (as you did 
below), then you can for now skip the bugbuddy output. We should be able to 
crash it ourselves :-)

Your way of supplying the missing strings looks good. I'll look into this 
during the next days.

Thanks. Applied to SVN.

There's an OFX test file in the tarball of libofx, under doc/ofx_sample_files/ 
there. Note that if you imported that one once, then gnucash will remember 
the unique ids of all imported transactions in the "online-id" kvp frame of 
the respective transactions. That will make a second import of the file very 
boring. Workaround: Before importing the OFX file a second time, edit the 
gnucash file and remove the XML tags with "online-id" in them, then open the 
edited gnucash file and you can import the OFX file again.

If you want to try the HBCI features, read gnucash's 
src/import-export/hbci/HACKING-HBCITEST.txt

(will look into the string problems later) As for the whole budget features, 
please note that they are still considered experimental (as far as I know) 
and it's not yet clear and/or decided whether these features will actually 
make it into a 2.0.0 or might be delayed until a later 2.x release. So these 
should probably not be your first priority for translations.

That one will certainly disappear for the 2.0.0 (non-development) release, so 
you don't have to care too much about that.

Thanks.
