I think that gnc-main-window.c falls into this category -- belonging
in gnome instead of gnome-utils.  Interestingly, one can arrive at
that conclusion without even knowing the intended distinction between
the two, becaue gnc-main-window.c indirectly (through scm_evals)
depends on global report state, even though gnome-utils isn't supposed
to depend on report-gnome.

I'm going to see how painful it is to move gnc-main-window and its
dependencies (e.g. gnc-plugin-manager) from gnome-utils into gnome.
