I've just noted one further thing (but again with the version from sid, no patches), so maybe it's no longer the case already:
When a CSD program isn't maximised (or when there is no maximised state), it has rounded corners on the top of the "window". When run with gtk3-nocsd, one still has this round corners with a black background in the proper window, see attached screenshot. Cheers, Chris.
