Judging from the webpage, this is personal finance software (ala Quicken)
and doesn't seem to aspire to providing digital cash or electronic wallet
functions.

The reason it's important is that it provides that seamless interface that
everyone is looking for to impliment digi-cash mechanism in a GPL'ed
