One of many reasons why I started fpGUI. When we still used LCL & GTK1 
(1.5-2 years ago), I was told it is not native behaviour and will not be 
fixed. Don't ask me what Linux native behaviour is, because every second 
Linux app behaves differently. :) A work around was to create some 
custom theme file, but that was not a solution for us.

I have no idea what's the state of LCL & GTK1 at the moment, regarding 
this issue. But from your comment, it seems nothing has changed.

I can't comment on GTK2. 1.5 years ago, GTK2 was totally unusable.
