What a surprise!

The 6 ways of doing everything in GnuCash drives me nuts. I didn't know about gnc-component-manager, I just looked at the register window code to see how we made sure that a particular account was opened only once and copied that. I wonder how many other ways there are of ensuring no duplicates; I noticed that Robert Fewell layered another GList on top of the gnc_gobject_foo stuff to prevent having both a reg1 and reg2 window open at the same time. There may well be other schemes buried elsewhere.
