Thanks Jim, that was an useful discussion.

I can understand your concerns, we might have done a suboptimal job at
keeping up with the GTK changes and innovation in the recent cycles
(upstream has been more active that it used to be, and our focus with
the LTS/the work on touch has not been on catching up with those
improvements but on stabilizing what we have).

We are still committed a providing proper GTK support in Ubuntu and
working on resolving the issue you described in the theme and in the
Unity support, I hope that's going to make things better again for your
users running Ubuntu.

Oh, and when I was pointing issues with GtkHeaderBar, those are for
applications with unconditionally using those as decorations, on any
desktop environments. I just tested the current geary version and it
behaves correctly on Unity indeed, which shows that properly used those
widgets are not issue (hint to other software writers, you can look
there for an example of how you should do things ;-)

Cheers,
