I think you misinterpreted Randy the first time because what Juerg just wrote is really the essence of the matter and it's really what Randy was driving at. In BLFS, although were installing all the development libraries, the goal is to get a desktop set up. But there certainly is such a thing as the GNOME development platform. As you say, any developer can decide they want another dependency, but the list you wrote would actually work pretty well since GnuCash is very fleshed out.
Not my installtion of it - it isn't ! Very basic !!
The place this would be most interesting to the average BLFSer is obviously when you aren't building a GNOME desktop but you want to use some of the applications. So, I do think this is interesting and relevant information. -- Dan
OK. Having looked at the Wiki section you linked to, I am left a little unsure as to its purpose. Is it just a list of stubs that match the packages in the current book (and is it thus synchronised with the current book ?). If so, then the info I came up with probably wants to be a seperate page in the Wiki - a Note or Addendum if you like. If not then there might be a case for splitting out what are the obvious Desktop bits, terminal, panel, file browser etc, from the list you already have in the Wiki. My uneducated guess would be that the stuff you list under section 32 would more or less simply break between "libgnomeui" and "GTK Engines". Sounds like Juerg knows more about all this than me anyway but I'll try and knock something up for the Wiki for you.
