Notes column in SingleLine display

[David Carlson]

Well, if you read the manual you will find the answer to all your prayers,
or at ieast to all the "faults" that you have found so far with GnuCash.
Well, there is no way to replace the description with the notes other than
to put the text that you want to see in the Description field.  Isn't that
good enough?

I am new to GnuCash.  What was MOST noticable within minutes of my first use
was the glaring inefficient use of screen space.  Perhaps 1/3 of a register
listing is just empty in an overly wide "Description" column.  I personally
prefer to have the Notes field visible in the SingleLine display instead of
having to use a DoubleLine display (halving the number of transactions that
can be listed).  While I would love to see that as an official program
change (those that like things as they are could reduce a SingleLine "note"
column to minimal size), I doubt that will happen.  I have downloaded the
soure code and am wondering if anyone can provide some guidance in two
areas.

1. Hopefully adding the Notes column is a fairly straight-forward change,
ideally just requring a change to a single function (and maybe calls to that
function).  Any idea how complex such a change would be?

2. There is alot of code,  where would I focus my search efforts in finding
the code that must be chnaged?

Thank you.
