Yay!  yes, this would help a lot.   I'm quite pressed for time here (busy at
work, new girlfriend), but really want to get started.  If you can get it
started, I can finish it.  This way, I can learn GTK, etc while I'm using it
rather than having to invest the time up front.

Yes, I think the three pane window idea that you came up with will work well.  

Left pane:  the list of budget entries & sub entries, plus an insert & delete
button for entries.

top right pane:  fields to enter the details of an entry

bottom right pane:  fields to enter the details of a subentry.  This will have
two parts:  some information is common to all subentries.  As well, there
should be a drop down box to select the subentry type.  As this type changes,
a sub pane within this pane will change, as some information is different
depending on the type.

Don't spend too much time on it.  I will take responsibility for the front-end,
I just have not had a good idea on how to start.

I'm going home for the long weekend, but I'll be back Sunday night.

Thanks for your help,
Bryan
