the gnome_db_init/main functions are just wrappers around the normal
GNOME app initialization, so you can use one or the other, no need to
use both, although it doesn't harm at all.

no need to. You can either not use this at all, or use it, replacing
your current gnome_program_init/gtk_main code. You just need to use the
gnome_db_* functions.
