This looks good:

This looks cool:
XML::QOFQSF - convert personal data to and from QSF XML files - Support for the QOF SQLite backend will be added in a separate module in due course. NICE!
I feel like a SQL Lite back-end is the right choice for a desktop app, because the model could be shared with web apps, and other database engines, like Postgres (which I believe Gnucash is potentially supporting, or now supports), MySQL, or... you decide!
From what I can understand about QOF, it can act as a data object cache for desktop apps. I just posted a question to the GnuCash wiki about this topic, as I think it would be so cool to have a desktop application for fast access to data and highly interactive reports, as well as have "anywhere access" via a webapp like PBooks. This would be kind of like email clients and webmail.
