So Gnome makes $750 / month, Mint makes $3.41 / month ... sounds like we have a new metric to measure the number of users of Mint as opposed to overall users of Gnome.

Or it just means Mint users prefer other media players. Such high profits for Gnome are made mainly by Ubuntu users, but this will change with 12.04.

If they've only made the change recently, wouldn't that $3.41 only represent those having the bleeding edge Mint? Or was this an update that also went to older Mint installations?
