On this note, I may actually be in a position where I could spend  
some time working towards resolution.  However, I strongly suspect  
that resolution of this issue may be well over my head.  I've got a  
smattering of development experience, with the only languages I've  
used to a significant extent being Java and <whisper>Visual Basic</ 
whisper>.  I can read C and I've done some fairly basic stuff in it,  
but I'm not even close to being a Real C Programmer.  With that said,  
I do have 10.4 and XCode 2.0 installed on my PowerBook now.  Thusly,  
I have two questions:
1. Is there any hope that I might be able to be useful in getting  
gnucash working on 10.4 sooner rather than later?
2. In what manner would one suggest that I go about attacking this,  
in the event of an affirmative answer to (1)?
