Hi Steven,

This might be a MATE issue, I run both GTK2 and GTK3 in Mint Cinnamon and
havn't seen theme issues.  (default Mint theme, I'm too lazy to change it
:)  If by bookmarks you mean "recently used" then it definitely updates
from both, but how accurately and how regularly I havn't examined in detail.

Cheers
Lex
