I'm done with reviewing your work. You'll find mi comments directly on the 
github commits.

In general - well done! This really brings us much closer to a real gtk3 
gnucash.

As far as I'm concerned your branch is ready for merging:
- the tree builds fine
- the build executable seems to work barring a few visual details

So IMO this is ready to be tested by a bigger audience.

Regards,

Geert
