Title:
  Disable overlay scrollbars by default in Xubuntu 13.10

Bug description:
  Overlay scrollbars should get deactivated during the Xubuntu session
  despite the actual user setting. The user should still be able to
  reactivate them if needed.

  Possible solution (add to /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ or xinitrc):
  if [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" = x"xubuntu" ]; then
      export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
  fi

  Disabling them fixes some minor GTK3 theme glitches and these bugs:
  bug 1048805 xfce4-appfinder launches very slowly
  bug 1236271 GTK3 applications do not react to scroll wheel input when overlay scrollbars are activated
  bug 1239014 xfsettingsd unable to daemonize properly when overlay scrollbars are activated
