Not really.

Speaking as the designer of xgsch2pcb, it was intended to be a *minimal* X frontend to gsch2pcb, noy a project manager. Although in order to achieve this aim it's had to become able to do some of the things that a project manager is expected to do, it's *still* not a project manager.

To answer your original question, gsch2pcb needs a list of top-level schematic files as an input, so xgsch2pcb provides a way to specify a list of top-level schematics. As an added bonus, it provides a way to launch gschem to edit them.

TL;DR NOTABUG, WONTFIX.

(I reserve the right for Peter C. to disagree with me.)
