Bug Description

Impact
======
When Greybird is used as the theme in Unity, there's an unintended white border between the titlebar and headerbar in several default apps. See attached screenshots.

Greybird is shipped as Xubuntu's default theme.

Test Case
=========
From an Ubuntu 16.10 terminal:

sudo apt install greybird-gtk-theme
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme Greybird
gedit

See the white border

Close gedit
Now install the new version of greybird-gtk-theme

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme Greybird
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme Greybird
gedit

The white border should be gone.

Regression Potential
===================
Low. This minimal fix has been applied upstream based on a similar (but more minor) fix from the Numix theme developers.

ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10
Package: greybird-gtk-theme 3.20.1-1

I also verified that the version from -proposed removes the extra white line when running gedit in Unity.

I was seeing this in 17.04, 17.04 has already upgraded to 3.20.1-1ubuntu1 and I no longer see the issue.
