Renaming subroutines

I'm wondering what the policy is with renaming subroutines. My most recent change moved stuff from the status bar to a new summary bar on the main window. However, the routine that refreshes this stuff is still called "gnc_ui_refresh_statusbar". For consistency and understandability, the current

Subject: backend-sql, network hacks Hi Derek, David, I wanted to touch base & provide status & coordinate a bit. Over the last weekend, I revived the sql code, and hope to work on it some more next weekend. Since this overlaps and maybe clashes with where you were going, I wanted to talk.

We hear and respect your opinion. Java is definitely too slow still to be used for most client-side work, it's piggy with RAM, and the JITs are still buggy. Where speed is not the primary concern, Java has a lot going for it, IMHO. Turn off the JIT and it's pretty stable these days. One of Gn
