[GNC] Transparent background on selected Transfer choice

[Eric Coates]

Hi
Sorry to disagree!
I have been having his problem on Ubuntu 20.10 for some time. Yesterday 
evening I tried the workarounds in the bug report with no discernable 
effect.
Today I have done the upgrade to 21.04, the effect was still apparent, 
the workarounds still had no effect.

Also (and this is probably not a Gnucash problem) Gnome Tweaks behaves 
very oddly , uninstalling and reinstalling had no effect.
"Oddly" here means that trying to access the drop down lists on the 
Appearance tab does not reveal any other alternatives - it seems to be 
stuck on the theme set in Ubuntu Settings. - I'm sure that in the 
historic past this was not the case. There are other oddities as well. 
Research is required - of me.

Take care
Eric
