OK, improvements are seen. Now:

You need to pass arguments to gnome_program_init() that tell it what to
initialize. In this case, it would be

gnome_program_init(app_id, app_version, 1, fakeargv, LIBGNOME_INIT, NULL);

(LIBGNOME_INIT is a macro in gnomelib-init.h that passes the right params
so libgnome is initialized. The gnome_program stuff doesn't use other
parts of libgnome nor initialize it by default.)

This is in the middle of code that is commented out and is just there for
reference purposes. Welcome to the development branch! :-)

Are you sure that is all it does? I have not looked to double-check, but I
think $GNOME_LIBS gets used to calculate the libraries that libgnomeui
gets linked against, for example. We really don't want libgnomeui getting
linked against libgnome10compat.
