[GNC] Toolbar ignoring gtk-toolbar-style setting in Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

[Jonathan Kamens]

I am puzzled by your response for four reasons:

1. Ubuntu 18.04 is using GnuCash 2.6.17, not GnuCash 3, and 2.6.17 is 
still using Gtk+2.

2. I observe the same behavior in the toolbar of the Gtk 2 demo 
application. It is not unique to GnuCash.

3. When I SSH into my Ubuntu 18.04 box and run GnuCash over the X 
connection forwarded through SSH, the toolbar displays as expected (with 
both icons and labels). It is only when it is displayed on the Ubuntu 
18.04 local display that it's using both+horiz mode even though my 
settings say that it should use both mode.

4. It does not appear to be true that Gtk+3 does not support toggling 
the toolbar's display mode. If you bring up GtkInspector on GnuCash 3.0 
and change the "toolbar-style" property on the GtkToolbar object, the 
display mode of the toolbar will change dynamically, just as it does in 
Gtk+2 (or at least did for me before I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10).

P.S. Speaking of both+horiz, why do only three of the buttons -- Save, 
Close, and Split -- have text labels when both+horiz mode is used for 
the toolbar?
