It's just that wrapping gnome2/gtk2/glib2 is considered (at least by
me) outside of the scope of G-Wrap (1.5+, that is). 1.4 will keep the
GLib bindings, but Rob has to decide wether to update them to GLib2.

Hmm, the impression i've got was that GnuCash will stay depending on
Guile for the foreseeable future.

The old thing was named gnome-guile, IIRC, but it's supposed to be
dead. There are currently two development strains active: guile-gtk,
which wraps the 1.2 GTK stuff and Guile-GObject, which will be the
*one-and-only-true* Guile-Gnome ;).
