I've finally become annoyed enough with the gnome scrollbars to want to fix them. (the ones that are almost invisible and only become visible when you mouse over them). I've found https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/09/how-to-disable-gnomes-overlay.html and determined that I don't have the 'overlay-scrolling' setting in dconf-editor, so presumably have an older version of gnome. I don't know how to find out what version of gnome I'm running, or even whether the question makes sense. There are various how-tos online that don't work on my system. I use an LXDE desktop and various programs of all ilks as my mood takes me. YaST shows me various different version numbers for various gnome-* packages, but the latest seems to be 3.26. Is there a concept of a single gnome version and how can I find it? Anyway I tried GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 gedit and that worked so I've added export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.DBus --object-path /org/freedesktop/DBus --method org.freedesktop.DBus.UpdateActivationEnvironment '{"GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING": "0"}' to ~/.profile and that works. The I decided to make it the default for the whole system so I went to add it to /etc/environment. But that file just contains: # # This file is parsed by pam_env module # # Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on seperate lines # which apart from the spelling error, just seems to indicate that it's not a good place to put a shell script fragment. So is the comment correct, or is the file actually interpreted by a shell at some point? And if the comment is correct, what's the correct place to put the gnome setting for its scrollbars to make it global?
