Hmm .. interesting. Abiword, Transmission (GTK) and Gnumeric seemed to be 
working as expected, but as I installed gnome-calculator, it _did_ indeed 
use CSD.

After some twiddling I came up with a new version of my CSD disabling patch,
now for 3.14, available from:

http://tnsp.org/~ccr/gtk3/

With that patch, even gnome-calculator submits to not using CSD. The patch 
may have some redundant sections, but it's difficult to know what is
necessary and what is not without deeper understanding of the 
CSD/headerbar logic (which I have no time nor patience for, sorry.)

I did not test any other programs you mentioned, though. Feel free to 
test and report results with the patch applied, if you have time.
