Micha,

I’m routing this to gnucash-devel because I think Dmitry monitors it and it would bounce from the Debian lists as I’m not subscribed to them.

The GnuCash master branch *also* has the gwen-gtk3 code and is set up to build it and link it to gwen. The 2.7.0 release will probably leave it that way because we're going to release it the moment we figure out what’s wrong with webkit2 on Mac and Windows (mac won’t display anything and windows segfaults), but shortly after that I’ll make it conditional on the nonexistence of libgwen-gtk3.pc.
