Yes, exactly.  At the time, it was somewhat of a feasibility study, as
GtkTreeViews were still a little new and there weren't too many
examples of good implementations that used 1000s+ of entries.
These days, it's not really a question of the quality of the gtk+ bits.

I haven't had the time to work on it (or any other part of GnuCash)
for quite a while now.  IIRC, last time I worked on it, I got copy and
pasting of transactions working, which was pretty low on my priority
list, so I think it's probably usable, though not polished.
