This is a gtk/gnome wide setting (Gimp, inkscape, ...). I suggest you
just leave it like that. There is a way to set it, google should be
your friend

That should not have changed. The tooltip code in gtk did change, so
9.10 handles tooltips differently.

This is not finished yet. I updated the toolbar when I redid the ui
code for plugin views, but I still have to activate the configure. The
idea is that people should not right click on views to change things.
The views themselves will have to pass notebook pages to add to the
configure view, eg the listviews will pass the columnorder tool, which
will then be visible in the configure view.
For your descendant/timeline pedigree, the style and other settings
you can move behind this configure view once I have the hooks in
place. I hope to do that as the next work, I still have some bugs I
see in the treeview code I want to fix.

This is also a gtk/gnome wide setting. The gnome people have decided
in their enormous wisdom that icons in menu's should not be done. I
don't know where this is set, I use 8.04 mostly to do gramps
development. I use KDE personally, there was a post here on the list
when gnome introduced this as we can circumvent this setting, but it
was decided to keep the system wide setting for Gramps, and perhaps
offer a setting in the preferences for those people who don't like
this (eg on KDE it fits with the rest of the QT applications to leave
the icons visible, but I would hope the qt-gtk style does it
automatically).

> Where can I change the look of gramps?

It must be somewhere in the gnome/gtk settings at the moment.
The lesson is always, if you are happy with your system, don't upgrade :-D
