Adwaita GTK3 theme menus do not have any border next to disabled/inactive menu items; the borders next to active items, separators etc. appear as they ought to. (I’m using gnome-themes-standard-3.8.4, gtk+-3.8.7, and no desktop environment; the window manager is fvwm.) Also, could somebody please add a useflag to skip doing that symlink which makes Adwaita the default cursor theme? Or maybe one to skip installing the cursors altogether (the way -gtk skips the GTK theme itself)? I really don’t see why the default cursors need overriding. Reproducible: Always
Please provide an screenshot showing the problem

Here’s what I meant. It also happens with the HighContrast theme, as you can see (and it’s a lot more noticeable).
Can you try on a newly created user account with a new home directory?
I did now. It looks the same way.
I would report directly to upstream: bugzilla.gnome.org
Done. Could somebody consider the second thing too? It would only involve a trivial change to the ebuild.
Do you have a link for upstream report? The second issue is bug 416647

For #9: Yes, here it is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721095 Too bad nobody would consider that thing (it makes reverting to the old cursors messy, and it gets redone each time you emerge it). Besides, there’s already a useflag that prevents the GTK themes from installing… In response to #10: But it should be Adwaita and not some other thing (or at least that’s what it says) since I got it from gnome-themes-standard and set it up with gtk-theme-name = Adwaita in my gtk-3.0/settings.ini file. Maybe it’s the GNOME stuff that makes the menus look different (I wouldn’t know, since I don’t use it; I only use text sessions and I don’t run any graphical environment stuff except fvwm). But I did search for some screenshots and they looked quite similar.

And your window theme is not Adwaita :-) I suspect that is has this side effect that menus do appear that bad. Therefore, I see it coming, that you upstream bug report will be closed as notagnome.
I am not sure if it leads somewhere, but what if you play with this settings: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme 'Adwaita' Is is possible to set the window theme to Adwaita under fvwm? gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme Adwaita $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'
In reply to #12 and #13: The window decoration stuff belongs to FVWM, made to look like CDE; I guess that’s what #12 meant. Actually, the window manager theme was already set to Adwaita in GSettings; however, this had no effect, since FVWM is themed in its own particular way and (as far as I know) it does not understand GSettings. I did try the GNOME window managers. Metacity shows no difference and neither does Mutter. Despite the pretty stuff the latter draws around the menus, the original ‘broken’ borders are still visible, as it can be seen in the last screenshot. It might still be a GTK+ glitch, even if it’s not strictly GNOME-related. Has anybody tried and/or managed to reproduce this running only X and some old-fashioned window manager?

Yes, I confirmed it with icewm ;) We probably don't see it in Gnome because gnome-settings-daemon is running (and changing anything I expect upstream will be able to explain us :/)

Thanks for the fix; it looks just fine now. But please, why won’t anyone make that dosym conditional upon use symlink or something like that? :)
Well, it's a bit explained in referenced bug report (whose duplicates I saw came mostly from you). The ideal would be that X11 would honor settings from /etc (since user is supposed to configure things there instead of playing in /usr), that way we could still provide it as default but people could configure it from /etc Not sure if using INSTALL_MASK would work for you :|
So you saw that :) Yes, but the trouble is that you can’t set cursors in /etc (actually you can, using Xresources, but you still can’t undo overriding the X11 ones, at least as far as I know…). So there’s no clean way to restore things once you install these new ones.
And INSTALL_MASK to prevent installation of that file?
