Good enough?  Well I can live with it as is and use some such workaround. 
But I am willing to put in a little effort, recompiling the code with a fix,
if that can be done with reasonable effort.

Colin, I agree with you 100%.  I suspect the reason Notes are currently only
output on a separate line is gnucash was developed at a time when 1024 wide
displays were far more common place.  But ALL current columns are really
optional (except Description).  Their size can be reduced to 1 (or 0?) pixel
wide.  If a Notes field was added, those using 1024 displays could reduce
the Notes column to 1 pixel in width.  Heck I would not object if the
default was a Notes field 1 pixel wide.  Essentially no change for those who
do not want a Notes field, but those who did want it could expand the field
as needed.
