Hi all!

I upgraded my testsystem from jessie to ascii. Everything went smooth, TDE + 
devuan running fine. But I oberserved some regressions in GNOME applications, 
espeially "terminator":

- The applications set the working directory to the "~". This is quite a bad 
surprise, as it breaks compatibility in a very bad way.

- Scrolling with mouse only works when the scrollbar is visible. Make the 
scrollbar invisible, change focus to different application and back again, and 
mouse scrolling des not work anymore.

- When an application can run more than one instance then when starting a 
second instance things get interesting: Old/Expected behaviour: Instead of 
showing the window of the new instance on the current desktop on top of the 
window stack and giving focus to that window and doing nothing else. 
New/Surprising behaviour: New window is placed on the active desktop, then the 
desktop is switched to the desktop of the first instance of the application, 
the window of the first instance is brought on top of the window stack, 
unfocused - the focus stays with the second window wherever that may be.

I'm sure there are more hidden eastereggs, but these are bad enough to make me 
want to drop all GNOME applications :-(
