Heh, it shows you have been digging deep into the Gtk+ CSS :) I think you even 
understand it better than me by now.
For reports on the other hand it's not important what Gtk+ implements as the 
reports are html rendered via webkit (essentially a built-in webbrowser) so 
the W3C css rules matter here..

That's indeed what I had in mind, but I haven't tried myself either. So I 
can't tell how feasible it is anyway. I don't see an issue for accounts as 
they are left-justified. I don't know for the right-justified amounts though. 
People with more html/css experience may want to share their views here.
