The statuswidget-horizontal and statuswidget-vertical css styles for border and padding are no longer applied in LM22 (MATE), while they previously worked correctly in LM21.x (MATE).
Steps to reproduce
Perform a fresh installation of LM22 (MATE).
Expected behavior
Styles should be applied and the status icons (container widgets actually) should be padded/distanced properly. The default widget padding on a fresh installation of LM22 (MATE) is too wide.
Additional information
The problem can be worked around by creating a file under ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the same content as the statusicon_css_string variable within mate-xapp-status-applet.py. The styles are then picked up and applied properly.
