[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#795526: cinnamon: Certain applications (e.g. gedit and archive manager) use a non-cinnamon window style

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hey Stefan.

They won't be able to fix this.

What you probably refer to are GTK+ Client Side Decorations, i.e. the
"new" way of GNOME being different, "better" and incompatible with
everything else.

So when you use GNOME applications with CSDs, you're basically screwed.

See for example:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744249

There's https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd but this is AFAIR no full
solution to the problems imposed by CSDs. :-(
And it's not yet packaged for Debian, see 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788076


If you don't like CSDs, you're probably better of with using non-GNOME
alternative applications, like the forks made by MATE :-)


HTH,
Chris.
