I currently test the gnucash CVS version. While not a developer myself, I 
understand that the changes made to modularize gnucash should serve to make 
it more suitable for the creation of a KDE front end to the gnucash engine. 
The gnucash developers are open to a kde developer doing such a thing. 
I, for one. would love to see it happen.
