Removing Overlay Scrollbars on the Dash?

[buzzingrobot]

Can the overlay scrollbars be removed from the Dash?

I've turned them off with Unity Tweak Tool and removed and purged the actual packages.

But, tap the Windows key and, bang, there they are.

This worked for me:

   sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar
   sudo echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars

The scroll bar is thin, and I don't know about the windows key.
My original 1986 IBM PS2 keyboard doesn't have one.

Didn't work Rats. Got regular scrollbars everywhere but in the Dash. Thanks, tho.

Sounds like it's hard coded.

philinux is probably right. When I do a

sudo nautilus

I still get the overlay scrollbars.

philinux - Is your name Phil, or does the phi mean (1+sqrt(5))/2?

The above worked last time I tried it. Also, I removed them:

sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0

I'll try this again to be sure.

I just tried this and using the command:

sudo sh -c 'echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars'

Then logout and back in again, it worked. I didn't have to remove anything.
