Yes ideally it shouldnt always be disabled, but with the current state of UX
issues that have arisen by following the condition in the gtk+2 theme file, it
would be best to disable it when building against gtk2.

Thanks for the information, though i dont know where to go to change this
setting and their isnt a GUI for changing this setting that the novice user
would know how to find. It is true that this is a setting in Gtk+2, but that
doesnt mean that we must follow it, as there are other gtk+2 apps that dont -
e.g. Firefox.

Ultimately with the ability enable and disable this option within LO, package
managers and users will be able to easily set this option.
