I don't think so.  The choice of start date of download is specified on  
the Edit Account Dialog, Online Settings Tab, Import Details subtab.   
The three choices are "Last update", "Today minus" with a spinbox for  
number of days, or "Pick date" with a date selector.  Also note that  
that DTSTART is part of the OFX request, not the response.  That all  
sounds like KMM stuff, not something buried within libofx.
