Doesn't work for me either (running "Ubuntu Classic" because Unity is underfeatured as opposed to a regular GNOME 2 setup) with an AMD Radeon HD 3300 Chipset Integrated Graphics (running fglrx driver).

1. the blacklist must be user-editable, not hardcoded (and if it is, qsort() and bsearch() are your friends)

2. Ubuntu should stop imposing immature cosmetic fluff on users. I care about a properly functioning system, not about squeezing out five pixels at the price of screen artifacts and missing functionality.

3. Please consider either withdrawing this crap, or using a whitelist of applications instead (rather than a blacklist).

I am now purging overlay scrollbar (much simpler this way than to concoct workarounds). I'll not try again before user-editable blacklisting is in place, as I certainly do not care to play alpha tester in a distribution release version. The test burden is with those who want to change an existing working scrollbar system, not with the end users. This isn't Debian/unstable after all.
