>>> Oh, I'm not done yet... and I've no confidence that that's the only path that could allow a timed autosave to sneak through. I've got part 2 done (changing from gnc_dbi_sync_all to gnc_dbi_safe_sync_all), though it's not in subversion yet, and I'm working now on separating the book_dirty (which applies to the book object and is needed to get it saved when one of its properties or KVPs gets edited) and session_dirty (which applies to everything). The Xml backend's commit_edit method can call the latter, and that can fire off the autosave function (I wanted to do everything in the Xml backend, but the autosave function has too many hooks into gnome and qof, so I decided to leave it where it is for now and just eliminate the overloading of book_dirty.)
