[GNC] No Maximise button on 3.3 in Ubuntu 18.10

[Roger Miskowicz]

I tried what I think you said in 18.04 and 3.35 can not shrink to where
there is a horizontal scroll bar.  The Maximize '+' button is there
regardless whether the tabs are at the top or right side.

Just to ensure we're talking about the same button.  In Xubuntu 18.04 I
don't have the Maximize button as displayed by Alt-Touch instead at the top
right I just have '-+x' which seems to be what I have in all my
applications.  The '+' toggles maximize or not maximize.
