Public bug reported:
I like big buttons with text labels below them in GnuCash toolbars.
Fortunately, that's exactly what I had in Ubuntu 17.10.
However, having upgraded to 18.04 this morning, suddenly the GnuCash
toolbars are back to being small buttons with no text labels.
There are SO MANY PLACES to set this preference, and yet, it's not
working:
$ gconftool-2 --search-key-regex toolbar
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style = both
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_detachable = false
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size = large-toolbar
$ gconftool --search-key-regex toolbar
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style = both
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_detachable = false
/desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_icons_size = large-toolbar
$ dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/interface/ | grep toolbar
toolbar-style='both'
$ gtk-query-settings | grep toolbar
! gtk-toolbar-style: GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
! gtk-toolbar-icon-size: GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
I have no idea why that last one says "both-horiz" rather than "both". I
honestly have no idea where that setting is coming from and can't find
any way to find out. (I even tried running strace on gtk-query-settings
to see what it was reading, and that didn't help.)
I can't find any way to change this setting in gnome-tweaks.
Is the ability to have large icons with text below them simply gone in
18.04, or has the setting migrated to yet another location that I have
to set it in now (it seems like Ubuntu and/or GNOME decides to move
settings to a completely new backend just for the heck of it every few
releases).
