Bug Description

Hi,

a new bug from debian:

Package: simple-scan
Version: 3.17.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

The user interface does not show a border in KDE.

Regarding the previous bug and entry for this same problem under MATE (and
LXDE) (#756913), this was closed with the Changelog entry noting:
  "Don't use GtkHeaderBar in LXDE, MATE"

White-listing every desktop environment that needs normal behavior seems
backwards to me. Shouldn't simple-scan let the window manager draw borders as
the _default_, and only turn on the special no-border case when it specifically
detects it is running under a desktop environment where this is appropriate?

Otherwise this same bug applies for (almost) every one of the 50+ packages
providing x-window-manager.

Thanks again for a great scanning program and for considering the needs of
users on multiple desktop environments.

The HeaderBar is the intended UI for simple-scan (as for all GNOME applications). The desktops that opt-out of this do this because they don't support HeaderBars for technical reasons. Is KDE in this case?

To clarify - this legacy support will be removed at some point in the future when these desktops work with HeaderBars correctly.
