Gnome apps: disable window controls on header bar

[dzklaim]

Qubes OS R3.2

By default, Qubes OS installs several applications that follow the GNOME HIG (like nautilus, evince, etc). Usually these applications add buttons to control the window to the header bar. This behavior clashes with the window decoration provided by the window manager.

For example, the button to close the window in evince in the screenshot

One can easily fix this by customizing the key "button-layout" of the schema "org.gnome.desktop.preferences.wm.preferences" to something like "appmenu:"

From what I've heard from many people (including @bnvk): yes, duplicated buttons are confusing and/or inconsistent.
