[GNC] No Maximise button on 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.10

Sorry, I should have said that all other apps I have tried operate as expected.

Alt-Space does not show Maximise.  It does show Unmaximise but it is greyed out.

However I have had a Eureka moment.  There seems to be a change with
3.3 to do with window width. On 2.9 the window (when not maximised)
could be shrunk down so that the right hand fields of the register
were not visible, and a scroll bar then appeared at the bottom of the
register.  With 3.3 it appears this is not possible, the window can
not be shrunk to the point where a scroll bar appears.  I have my tabs
shown down the right hand side and the result is that the smallest
window size is slightly larger than the size of my screen.  In that
state it is not possible to maximise the window.  If I place the tabs
at the top then it is possible to maximise.  I can then place them at
the side again and it stays maximised but if I close and re-open
gnucash then it unmaximises again.

This may also have been an issue happened when I built 3.3 from source
on Ubuntu 18.04 to test it, I don't know. I may just not have noticed
it then.
