Thank you very much to discuss with me.
> That changes the way the database is interpreted
I disagree.
If the user loads a .gnucash file then edits it and saves it, the date field of
a preexisting transaction only changes if:
- the date field used another timezone than +0000 (gnucash-2.4), in which case
it is now in the +0000 timezone (that happens even without my patch).
- the user explicitely modified it.
- the transaction is dated 1200Z (current patch) and of less than two days old,
and the user updated another field of that transaction.

I think that the coding and debugging style, the TZ environment variable and
the lack of patch to preferences.glade are better reasons to disqualify it.

Thanks, I've bookmarked them. I'll try them next time I work on that.

Now that I understood what you just explained, I suggest something like:
--debug Enable troubleshooting mode: provide deep details in logging.
Implies "--log qof=info".
--extra Enable development/troubleshooting/other features.
--log Log level overrides, of the form "modulename={debug,info,
warn,crit,error}"

PINFO was marked by gcc as an undefined keyword. I am sure I had to add a
header line, but I did not know which one.

Modifying the order of transactions or inserting transaction is difficult.
See
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_order_transactions_in_a_register_so_deposits_are_before_withdrawls.3F
I also use gnucash for official accounting. To be able to follow the order
printed by the bank on paper, I had before this patch to move transaction by
touching them in the right order (or to misuse the num field). Now it is much
more easier.

In my case, gnucash-2.6.5 is running on the same android tablet. See
gentooandroid.sf.net or, better than my case,
