They certainly don't look like that to me, but I'm also currently
running either an older GTK+ version or a weird newer jhbuild GTK+
version depending. It's possible it's specific to that GTK+ version,
but I'd be surprised.

PyGTK uses GTK+ 2, so that's not necessarily a good test. If other
apps aren't showing the same behaviour though, I don't know what could
be going on. Are you sure the other apps you're testing with are using
GTK+ 3?

Also, I notice that whatever window manager you're using is causing
the fallback (i.e., non global) application menu, and I definitely
haven't tested with other window managers. The other things you're
saying are borderless (except scrollbars, which in that screenshot
look normal to me) are all top-level windows, so I'd be suspicious of
some interaction there.

cheers,
Kai
