I can't help with the "pin tab" idea, but for those who want to keep the
toolbar around, I've come up with an admittedly-hacky way to hide the
"Close [tab]" toolbar button. I also have a hide for the File menu
item, but it still leaves a small, clickable area that will close a tab,
unfortunately.
Remember that any errors in a .css file for GTK programs will cause the
entire thing to be ignored. :(
I've only tested on my own Linux computer. The 6000 pixels measurements
are just to be bigger than any monitor so you don't have a close button
floating off to the side. :)
If anyone has more elegant CSS for this, please do share!
In Linux, I add the following to my ~/.config/gnucash/gtk-3.0.css file,
saved it, then restarted GnuCash. Your file will be (or can be created)
in the "GNC_USERCONFIG_DIR:" path shown in Help > About GnuCash.
For anyone wanting to play around further and using Linux,
'GTK_DEBUG=interactive gnucash' entered in the terminal opens a handy
little GTK Inspector program.
/* Remove close-tab button on toolbar - the hover text will still show
up, but this seems to make the button unclickable */
#ToolbarClose *
{
margin-left: 6000px;
margin-right: -6000px;
}
/* Remove close-tab button in File menu and make close-program button
bigger to cover up clickable close-tab space - THE INVISIBLE CLOSE
BUTTON IS STILL CLICKABLE, though this hacky stuff makes the clickable
space smaller... */
#FileClose,
#FileClose *
{
margin-left: 6000px;
margin-right: -6000px;
font-size: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#FileQuit,
#FileQuit *
{
margin-top: -20px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}

You're very welcome, but as Stan correctly pointed out that doesn't solve the
"problem" of the toolbar icon closing a tab when a lot of people ass/u/me that
it will close the program.
Thank You,

Gyles, sir, you win the cigar (or prize of preference).
What's annoying is I looked there, but just didn't see it.
Thank you so much.

You can remove the "X" on the tabs to prevent accidental closing. Under
Edit/Preference/Windows and the section labeled Tabs. Just click on box to remove the check on
"Show close on notebook tabs". Then you shouldn't be able to close accidentally.
Thank You,
