I attempted to do some further experimenting on these two issues, but now 3.3
crashes on startup. Presumably it's the startup bug I've seen referenced, but
anyway my crash log is pasted below if it's useful. I'll wait for a future
release before experimenting further with 3.*.

Okay, good to know.

Yes, sorry, 2.6.21.
Looks complicated, given that I have no knowledge of the Gtk API or how GnuCash
makes use of it. I can live with the ugly UI for now. But if there's going to
be a 2.6.22, and if this is trivially reproducible on a fresh Mojave system (I
don't _think_ there's anything unusual about my system, but who knows), it may
be worth looking into.
Thanks,
Dan
