It would be convenient if I could make changes in PCB, and read them back into gschem. However its not a big issue if I just need to go add the capacitor in this case in the schematic (along with its nets) and re-run gschem2pcb grabbing the updated pcb file. As long is there is a way to maintain sync (and there is), I can use that method. I do realize that other commericial EDAs (like Eagle) allow you to maintain sync betwen adding components/nets on the PCB side and those are fed back into the schematic.
