Ian, While I like the appearance of your dialogs better, they do not look native on GTK3 like the last two images. While I may not agree with the Gnome folks design choices all of the time, I would rather avoid making KiCad look like it uses it's own widgets toolkits. Using the stock platform dialogs over custom dialogs is preferable whenever possible.
