Did you upload new nautilus package? When I wrote it it was about patches
in last uploaded version in xenial. Also it is not only about old
patches/code, same problem is with new patches/code - mostly it is simple
g_strcmp0...

That is right thing... GNOME Flashback should work with GNOME components
not Unity.

Yes at least for monitor config, idle monitor.

That is how it should work.

I guess something like that could be part of glib API...

And no I don't like going back to GNOME-Flashback:GNOME. Many things

Be more specific - please give me list of broken things so I can fix
that.

Not a solution.

There was time when GNOME Flashback was really in bad shape upstream, but
things have improved - it definitely is not that good as I would like, but
it should be usable.

Arch has added GNOME Flashback back to community repository with message -
"It became usable with GNOME 3.18". From ubuntu forum:

P.S. The problem is not only with nautilus. Looks like Ambiance is and will
be Unity only theme. It not updated to support csd windows. It does not
work good with mutter, metacity - CSD windows are not resizable, windows
has problem with rounded corners...

Title:
  Re-enable traditional titlebar on 'gnome-but-not-shell' sessions too

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello and thank you for maintaining Nautilus packages,

  I'm using Ubuntu on a Cairo-Dock session. With the latest version of 
Nautilus, we have the new titlebar (CSD) specially made for Gnome-Shell.
  Is it maybe possible to re-enable the traditional titlebar on 
'gnome-but-not-shell' sessions too? (and then only use the new titlebar on 
Gnome-Shell sessions)

  On my session, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME but DESKTOP_SESSION=cairo-
  dock

  Best Regards,

  Matt
