Now the old look is back :), this not necessarily means that I also got rid of GTK hiccups.

If Adwaita really is the culprit, file a bug with GNOME. That's their domain.
OTOH, GTK2 apps are affected and the GNOME maintainers likely want to make GTK2 apps look consistent with GTK3 GNOME apps, so that they fit better to the bad design of the GNOME desktop environment. No, I dislike insults from upstream, when reporting an issue. I have given up to report to this kind of upstream, a long time ago.
Ugh! Yeah, there probably isn't much a case to be made on their Bugzilla. I imagine that they will justify the change as a feature to "make the geometry of elements match in both GTK2 and GTK3". The best thing to do at this point is design a GTK3 theme that sucks less (and maintain it when GNOME makes the arbitrary changes to the GTK3 theming API again). Clearlooks-Phenix is good. Perhaps a Bluecurve-Phenix would be fun too. (Someone really should adjust the attitude of the GNOME devs. I am sick of the crap coming out of GNOME 3 breaking stuff and making other things ugly.) --Kyle
