[Bug 1705060] [NEW] gtk-window-decorator crashed when windows controls are on the left and GDK_SCALE=2

 

Public bug reported:

On Ubuntu MATE 17.10 daily I am experimenting with GDK scaling. I have
exported the following in to the XSession:

  GDK_SCALE=2
  GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5

MATE Tweak can be used to switch between window managers and also select
if windows controls are displayed on the left or the right.

  * When window controls are on the right switching to Compiz works just fine.
  * When window controls are on the left switching (or starting Compiz) segfaults with the following error:

(gtk-window-decorator:2990): libmetacity-ERROR **: Could not find a
button to strip. n_left = 1 n_right = -1
