Hi Stephen

Following your 18.04 build have you got all the icons available?  Assuming
you installed to /usr/local then you should see
$ ls -l /usr/local/share/gnucash/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions
total 72
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 540 Apr 15 00:51 gnc-account-delete.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 416 Apr 15 00:51 gnc-account-edit.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 460 Apr 15 00:51 gnc-account-new.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 540 Apr 15 00:51 gnc-account-open.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 334 Apr 15 00:51 gnc-account.png
....

If they are there could you help me to debug an install issue please?
Remove or rename /usr/local/share/gnucash/icons and rerun
sudo make install
Then check to see if the icons have been restored?  When I try it on 18.04
I am not getting the icons and have to hack one of the cmake files to get
it to work, but for others it works ok on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks

Colin
