They did with 3.12 (CSD, and some dialogs used headerbars), but not with 
3.14.0. However, as I said, gnome-calculator does use CSD with unpatched 3.14.0.

Not sure why you asked that, as I wasn't claiming that Abiword, Transmission or
Gnumeric were using CSD with 3.14.0, just the opposite. Perhaps I wasn't 
clear enough about it.

Those are the Gtk+3 apps that I normally use, and only after I installed 
gnome-calculator, I noticed that CSD was being used for that on unpatched 
3.14.0 for some reason.

Screenshot of gnome-calculator, Gtk+ 3.14.0 CSD disabled with my patch:

Plain Gtk+ 3.14.0 without patch:
