Applications should work/look same between Unity and GNOME Flashback session. If it does not then it is bug...

Because of this Ambiance theme does not have CSS for client side decorations. You could try to use different theme. Do we need tricks by gnome-flashback to make these apps work again?

Then we must make sure that Ubuntu/Unity patches does not affect our session... We hope that we will be able to improve this in 17.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621104 Title: gnome-flashback may need to handle odd behaveing apps windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/+bug/1621104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
