--- Comment #9 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I can appreciate the technical problems associated with fixing this bug. 

But this issue is significant from a user perspective. An even worse one is Bug
390550, which results in an impairment to function, not just aesthetics (you
can't resize CSD windows at all). Taken together the experience of using GTK3
apps with CSD windows is just really painful and bad, and represents a
strategic weakness for our platform.

If the codebase is so fragile that it leaves us unable to fix bugs, that's a
major problem. Function doesn't matter if the form turns people off so they
don't want to use it. In the commercial world, projects get canceled because
their UX is bad even when the tech and code are good, because users buy
competing offerings instead. In the FOSS world, the effect is not as dramatic,
but what happens is that people vote with their feet and just stop using it
over time. We can't afford to say, "this is too risky to fix, sorry." CSDs are
proliferating in the GTK world and we can't ignore that and let a larger and
larger share of Linux software look and feel bad on our platform.
