I've done again some search with Google, and found

  http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-gthumb-332-in-ubuntu-gnome-1404.html

(published on 2014-05-19), which says:

  "Ubuntu 14.04 had gThumb 3.3.1 in its official repositories at some
  point but because starting with version 3.3.0, the application uses
  header bars (also known as client side decorations) and they don't
  work properly under Unity, gThumb was downgraded to version 3.2.7."

and

  "If you try to use it under other desktop environments, you'll
  encounter various visual glitches"

This is about Ubuntu/Unity, but there are the same problems with
Debian for non-GNOME users.

So basically, the changes for GNOME made gThumb partly incompatible
with other desktop environments. Note that gThumb is still described
as a generic application:

  Description: image viewer and browser

not a GNOME-only application.

There are other problems related to that: once gThumb has been put
below other windows, it remains below them since the window manager
operations set up by the user are no longer available (in my case,
a left click on the title bar raises the window, but this doesn't
work with gThumb's header bars).

I'm increasing the severity since it badly interferes with the
environment and this makes gThumb hardly usable.
