Bug#744249: libgtk-3-0: gtk 3.12 breaks usability by forcing client side decorations on X11

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hey.

I really wonder what the GNOME guys smoked when they came to this (or
which anti open source company paid them to break a usable desktop
model).

But thanks to CSD, I can e.g. no longer move such windows from one to
another workspace,... moving or maximising the window often doesn't work
or simply executes some action (like in epiphany, where basically
everything is the address bar).



Anyway,... has anyone thought about packaging
https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd ?

It doesn't fully fix this anti-ergonomic and completely dysfunctional
"feature", but at least it's a start.

Apart from that we probably we'll have to live with GNOME/GTK upstream
breaking their systems/software more and more, adding more standards
incompatible stuff and reducing functionality and usability down do
zero.
At least alternatives are coming up (and overtake in terms in
functionality/usability)... mate, cinnamon, etc.


Cheers,
Chris.
