Ok, I have this working. The last patch I submitted to
the list includes this ability, which works best under
gnome. I haven't tested it extensively, but I have
exited and restarted the ui in the shell multiple
times. The data is retained between invocations.
It's cool.

Yes, and I believe my solution does just that. If guile
is running, then gnc_shutdown calls gnc:shutdown and
does nothing else. gnc:shutdown handles everything,
including shutting down the ui if it is running.
If guile isn't running, then gnc_shutdown just exits.
So, if guile is running, they both have the following semantics:
1. If the ui is running, shutdown the ui, but not guile.
2. If the ui is not running, shutdown the program.
