Scwm (The Scheme Configurable Window Manager) may be a better source of
inspiration and code to borrow for GNUCash's guile-based hooks.  It too
uses Guile, and does hooks similar to emacs.  Our event-binding system
is undergoing a thorough redesigned, and will be reimplemented in the
next two months-- my design is in the scwm-discuss mailing list archive
on the web.  See:

for details.

Good luck!
