Import QIF Hangs

[Derek Atkins]

So do you use metacity?  Or some other window manager?

Um, well, all I can suggest is sending someone your QIF file,
attaching it to a bug, or doing a binary search to figure out
where it's actually getting stuck.

I'm sorry I dont have a better answer for you.  Hopefully with the
QIF Import rewrite happening during the GSoC we can get this
working better by the end of the year.
