[Kmymoney-devel] csv importer

[Chris]

Thanks Alan

I am hoping the same issue is what is effecting the windows version and the 
reason its not responsive is because of a layering issue. Now that I know 
what I am supposed to see it should be easier to get it right.

As you say. So much for cross platform ui design!

Lately I have been thinking about building a html gui library. All events 
would be exposed to the calling application and I believe these issues would 
not be so prevalent as they have already been solved by the browser developers.

I'll let you know how I get on with the windows version.

Chris
