Title:
  Overlay scrollbars are installed in Kubuntu on Quantal upgrade

Status in “overlay-scrollbar” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  First, let me be clear that this is not a complaint about the use or
  presence of overlay scrollbars. If I have inappropriately this here
  and it should have been filed under development discussion, please
  accept my apology and move it there.

  I am running Kubuntu, not Ubuntu, I do not have Unity installed. I
  opened a GTK application in KDE and my scrollbars were not the
  customary in-line scrollbars. Instead, they were overlay scrollbars.
  KDE is highly customizable, and even has mechanisms for styling GTK
  applications; however, there is no mechanism for switching between
  overlay and in-line scrollbars in KDE. This is not a deficiency in KDE
  because KDE is not written for scrollbars.

  The point is that overlay scrollbars are not a dependency and
  therefore should not be installed in the first place. If the overlay-
  scrollbars package must be installed for QT applications in non-KDE
  sessions, they should not affect QT applications in a KDE session. The
  overlay scrollbar preference should be turned off by default for
  sessions that are neither Gnome or Unity, or there should be a system
  preferences add in written for KDE. There are other system preference
  add ins written for KDE System Preferences. Two well-known examples
  are the flash control and Catalyst control.

  I should mention that I have Openbox installed as well, but not Gnome.
  The release upgrade also pulled in Cairo and Compiz, even though I
  don't have gnome-session or gnome-shell.
