Adrien,
You beat me to it. I was about to also suggest making it a user preference
to be able to store the report configurations either with the book or as a
user location. Then the user could choose what suits their circumstances and
configuration.

One might want the same configuration in many respects and the same options on
various reports to be ’saved’ (since there is no other way to accomplish this
task) as user configured defaults to be useful across various books.
Some people have separate files for many entities and they shouldn’t

You could have a startup script which copied a common user config file for
GnuCash from a backup or other central location to each users home directory
and then copied it back on exit.
On Linux the files would be those in the directories:
/home//.local/share/gnucash (all user data)
While I take exception to Wm's tone and language, I agree with his overall
assessment of the reports and configuration management.
Storing configuration data separately from the financial data and on a user (as
opposed to a book) basis is questionable.
Storing saved reports separately from

The summary bar is using stock gtk widgets. So if there's a library dependency
issue it would be gtk or one of its dependencies.
Note gnucash switched from gtk2 to gtk3 between gnucash 2.6 and 3. This has
lots of visual side effects because gtk3's default styling is quite different

Not sure if this is a dev or user question, but I suspect the people who
can answer are devs.
