I am glad to see that someone else is hammering on gtk3 Nik. gtk2 was
1000% more usefull. gtk3 must be a committee design. lol.
Hi Gene! My 4 GTK applications left are "terminator" (it's 0.97, gtk2
version, on hold, as 1.xx is gtk3 and utterly broken), GIMP (can't do much about it)
and DrRacket (which has a use-gtk2-switch). "Geany" was good, as long as it was
GTK2, the GTK3 version is broken badly, and firefox (well ...). Guess some GNOMEs get good
money for breaking things in a creative way.

Out of couriosity: what value did you put there and did it change
"something"?
it's been 96.
I have tried something else (I believe '120', not sure why I picked
that) and it improved some things and made other things worse - had
me jumping from config file to config file. somehow I've achieved
equilibrium with 96.
and Firefox is a demon! ended up writing userChrome.css rules but
strangely Firefox-esr (68.3.0esr) seems to honor them but Firefox
71.0 seems to ignore them. (I did the magic of trying to force it to
read the file, etc.)
Cheers, Gene Heskett
