[CentOS] Scroll bar arrows missing and behaviour change

[Bill Gee]

Hmmm.....

I have only tested in FireFox.  What application are you using?  REboot should 
not be required.  Perhaps logout/login if Gnome is your desktop, but as I 
recall in my testing, a mere restart of the application was all that was 
needed.

It should affect GTK applications, but probably nothing else (KDE/Plasma, for 
example).
