Cheers. I now understand from lurking around here and the devel list 
that the developers are under pressure to put G2 out as soon as 
possible, so financial year handling in the 1.8 branch may be the least 
of your problems. So I guess no UI work will be done for that and that's 
fine.

Since G2 is still months away though, the patch I submitted may be of 
interest to some. I don't know if it is worth including in a future 1.8 
release, but maybe the FAQ entry could be updated with something around 
the lines of:

     You can find a patch for 1.8 that will let you change the financial
     year system-wide at the following URL:
