[Bug 1579142] Re: Evince windows cannot be resized after upgrade to Xenial

2017-07-23 Thread John McPherson
still happens in 17.04. This happens if using the Ambiance theme with gnome-flashback, so I think it is theme related and not specifically any app window. You can work around this by modifying your .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css file to leave some margin space around your window, like: .background.csd

since upgrading to 8.10, I get the gnome-keyring popup asking for my keyring passphrase the first time I run ssh-add after logging in. This happens every time I log in. I assume the problem is that my keyring is not being automatically unlocked by gdm with my login password. I also have similar
