[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#824778: cinnamon: consider to recommen gtk3-nocsd

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: cinnamon
Version: 3.0.2-2
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

For an analogous rationale I gave for #824551, which I've
quoted from https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5306

I'd suggest to consider whether a cinnamon package (perhaps
cinnamon, -core, or maybe even -desktop-environment) should
possibly recommend the package gtk3-nocsd.

Since cinnamon users typically want to avoid the ... uhm...
"GNOME3 special 'features'", it seems natural that they also
don't want CSD (i.e. client side decorations).

With one of the next uploads gtk3-nocsd probably fixes most
of the issues I've found with it (most of them minor rather
minor things like graphical stuff).


Some people may not want to have libgtk3-nocsd generally,
preloaded... I've opened #824775, where we could discuss
possible ways to have it only loaded for well known CSD-
offenders, like eog, gedit and so on.


I've CCed, Christian, the gtk3-nocsd maintainer (and as it seems
most active upstream dev)...perhaps he has some ideas to share
about this one.


Cheers,
Chris.
