Comment 44 for bug 195929

Bruce,

I think you're misunderstanding the issue. The patches in this bug report do not change the button roundness in any themes; if the theme specifies squares widgets, they will remain square.

The purpose of these patches are to remove unnecessary *rectangular* white borders surrounding GtkButton and GtkCombo widgets. These white borders are always rectangular, no matter what the "roundness" or "radius" (murrine and clearlooks, respectively) value specifies in the theme's gtkrc file. It just so happens that this issue is more noticeable with rounded themes (which accounts for our default Human theme and Human-Murrine, among others).
