As long as we're talking about what components to swap out, it was reported
on the gimp list today by Federico Mena that the GNOME project is dumping
the use of GtkXmHTML, the Gtk port of XmHTML.  He indicated that it wasn't
being maintained any more and had some other problems, so GNOME is going to
use a new HTML widget, GtkHTML.  I'm not sure if that will be a separate
library or if it will be rolled into gtk+.

Perhaps XmHTML is being better maintained than GtkXmHTML, but from what I've
seen XmHTML is one of the weakest components of GnuCash.  If a good
replacement ever presents itself, that would be one package might be worth
getting rid of.
