Description of problem: Selecting "Use system default" in Prefrences > Windows > Toolbar Style does NOT cause gnucash to use system defaults. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnucash-2.0.4-1.fc6 How reproducible: Set GNOME toolbar preferences to show icons only, select "Use system default" in gnucash Preferences > Windows > Toolbar Style, watch how nothing happens and text stays under icons. Selecting "Icons only" in gnucash preferences works as expected, as do the other choices.
Most apps don't respect that pref; that pref only changes bonobo toolbars (Evolution, etc), not the GTK+ toolbars as used by gnucash, gedit, sol, and so forth. There's nothing for gnucash to do here unless the capplet is updated - moving there.

Comment on attachment 145836 [details] Screenshot showing toolbar preferences, gnucash 2.0.2 The screenshot shows how gnucash 2.0.2 observed GNOME toolbar preferences.
The "detachable toolbars" setting should be removed upstream, pretty much nothing uses it anymore, and moving toolbars is just a gimmick.
I've just filed: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408295
My bug report was not about detachable toolbars, it was about text under toolbar icons. Gnucash 2.0.4 does NOT observe GNOME Menus & Toolbar preferences. If I set "Toolbar button labels" to "Icons only", Gnucash 2.0.4 will still show text under the toolbar icons.
My mistake. The upstream bug still stands, and the problem lies with GNUCash to fix that problem. Epiphany and Rhythmbox don't use Bonobo and are still able to follow that setting, so GNUCash should be able to as well.
