Disable overlay scrollbars in Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal)

Since I upgraded to 12.10, (Quantal) I have have all sorts of issues because apparently gnome is moving away from compiz and using something of their own, but I'm using cairo-session which uses gnome-session, ... Whatever anyway ubuntu-tweak isn't working completely for me and the stupid overlay tool bars kept reappearing. The command below disables them:
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
Another thing that's not persisting is window focus mode:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/focus-mode \'sloppy\'
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/auto-raise false

Disable crash reports

I have had a lot of issues with crash reports that just keep on occurring, even when I say "don't tell me again" and when nothing has apparently happened.
sudo gedit /etc/default/apport  
change "enabled=1" to "enabled=0"
sudo service apport stop

Add "open as administrator" as a right click option in nautilus

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53319850/NoobsLab.com/libnautilus-gksu.so 
sudo cp libnautilus-gksu.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/ 
sudo rm libnautilus-gksu.so
