Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.

Autostart script method to fix the GTK3 scroll-warp feature-bug

I'm not aware of there being something like a "gtk-3.0-settings.d" to preserve settings.ini options between theme changes (including involuntary ones), so that's a work-around method, adding that to the session auto-start script:

Code:
! grep warps-slider $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini && echo "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false" >> $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
But that of course only works after a new login (not mentioning a pretty default-ish settings.ini that doesn't explicitly give the default as "true"). But perhaps it could be made into a subshell loop that does that every now and then:

Code:
(while true ; do
! grep warps-slider $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini && echo "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false" >> $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
sleep 10m ; done ) &
Then only GTK3 applications would need to be restarted.
