There's also no Windows maintainer at this point, so an enhancement request for a Windows-only feature isn't likely to go anywhere even for Gtk 3.9 (the current development version).

It's doable. One of us, Christian Stimming, has written a basic GUI using Qt. It's called "Cutecash" and it's buildable from an SVN checkout if you're interested in playing with it. The Gnucash engine is pretty unix-y and heavily dependent upon GLib, so getting it to build in MSVS would take a bit of work before one could even start on the GUI. That's less of an obstacle on Mac because of the Unix underneath the pretty GUI.
