Thanks for the reminder. I'm sorry nobody came around to give more feedback. 
I'll look into this the next days.

However, AFAIK your patch introduces new strings. Unfortunately we are 
currently in string freeze for another few weeks until 2.4.0 is out. After 
that, you patch can go into SVN right away.

In order not to have your patches forgotten again, I would suggest filing them 
as a bugzilla item with the patches attached as patches. That way, they would 
keep showing up in bugzilla's "Show all patches for gnucash" queries, which 
several of the developers will check regularly. Just for information.

Regards,

Christian
