Do's main window shows a resize grip in GTK3

[Robert Dyer]

Do's main window shows the new GTK3 resize grip in the lower right corner. Do should not show any resize grip.

See attached image for details.

Since I am unaware of how the grip is implemented, this is either a bug with GTK3's implementation or Do needs to set *something* to tell GTK3 to not draw that.

Yup. This is actually only a problem on Ubuntu, where we've patched
GTK2 to have the resizers by default.

What needs to be done is to check for the existence of the GTK# API
required to turn it off (also an Ubuntu patch) and use it if it's
available.

I assume that GTK2 patch only targets some windows? In other words, it ignores things like Splash screens or Docks/Panels?

Isn't Do's window marked as a Splashscreen? Or was that changed at some point? It would seem like GTK2 should just ignore it on its own without further intervention needed on Do's part.

Actually, I don't think that it does; I see it on the monodevelop
splash, too.

Yup, it's marked as Splash. Automatically disabling the resize handles
on such windows seems like a reasonable behaviour!

So perhaps this needs filed with the libgtk-2.0 package in Ubuntu? Or upstream in GTK's bugzilla?

I personally don't think Do needs to do anything here.

Against libgtk-2.0 in Ubuntu; this patch isn't in upstream GTK2.

It is in GTK3, but I'm not sure how that's handled.

Resize grips were removed from gtk+2 in Ubuntu due to issues. This should no longer be a problem.
