I had found gtk3-nocsd. I initially ran across it many years ago when trying to get evince to act like a good X11 app, but switching from evince to atril solved that problem without having to try gtk3-nocsd. gtk3-nocsd was a seperate library that replaced a few GTK3 functions. It was used by setting LD_PRELOAD so that the gtk3-nocsd library was searched first -- that way it could be applied only to specific executables. OTOH, gtk3-classic is a set of source patches that get added to the "normal" gtk portage directory. Those patches are then used the next time gtk3 is emerged. That means that it's a permanent, system-wide change: all executables that use GTK3 will be using a library that has the classic patches. Am I undertanding the mechanisms correctly? -- Grant
