To incorporate app elements on the window decoration is something that could start a bit of debate, I think. For my part, I'm against of this "client side windows decoration" tendency that started a couple of years ago, noisily voiced by some projects and quietly (but clearly) rejected by others. But beside my opinions, the fact that several players on the desktop "market" have different approaches (KDE developers stated quite clearly they will never support it), I think we need to let the desktop alone and concentrate on the app. Also, for my part I consider that some degree of consistency with the desktop is needed: if you will be in front of the computer several hours each day using different applications you need to be comfortable with your environment and that imply a minimum degree of consistency between the tools you are using. Ideally, the widgets colours and styles, file picker, etc. need to be set by the desktop, while less used tools like print menu could be different. Obviously, there is full freedom for specific tools like style editor or cross reference menu. After years of integration pain 3.4 visually integrates quite well on my KDE desktop. I think this integration must be keep.
