Quite long in that case. I'm wondering if there is much to do
again when there will be a gtk-3 one day. Probably not. I 'love'
gtk... I also much prefer C to C++.

I can't see the answer to my question so, really.

So, what is the big advantage of the using gnome-libraries. I
mean there must be some advantages. One advantage is that it
suits better into the gnome-desktop, so. Are there also
advantages for not-gnome users? Or what kind of advantages has
gnu-cash what gimp lacks in that area?

You need to know. I'm somebit minimalistic, and the less
libraries the better, unless there are good reasons..., that is
my personal opinion.
