To be sure that I understand the problem, you use the Lubuntu configuration tool to set "Text Only", "Text Below Icons" and "Icons Only" and the effect is immediate, but if you set "Text beside Icons", you must shut down and restart GnuCash for the setting to take effect. 

Text Besides Icons will not work for almost all icons, even after a restart.

I'll see if they've fixed it in the the Ubuntu PPA.  The more important bug I am fighting is that every time I use the backspace key, I can no longer enter any text, so I have to restart Gnucash.  No more mistakes!  If anyone had this issue, it must have been fixed.
