You've got to be kidding. We have to document what GNOME is because you
decide not to install GNOME to run a GNOME application? I've got no
objection to documenting what extra libs are needed outside of GNOME to
run GnuCash, but this is silly. The only thing that should be in the
docs for this is you need GNOME 1.4 or better to run GnuCash. If you
choose to not have this to run GnuCash then its up to you to figure out
what you need for all of GnuCash's bits.
