Would care to share some of the problems that you have encountered with the new version so I can take a decision to upgrade or not or simply change email client? What you say is pretty scary to me as similar experience has made me change from kmail to evolution some time ago as if I wanted to contribute by testing bleeding edge new features, I would fetch the git master version of the software. I'm expecting official releases to work reasonably well. thank you,

That's not at all true. KDE is going to be using server-side window decorations with their Wayland compositor. The GTK+ header bar is based on UX design, not anything to do with Wayland.

The main reason for HeaderBar widget on core apps of Gnome is Wayland. This is a protocol to develop compositors in replacement of the old and beloved Xorg. In Wayland world there is no Windows Manager, so windows decoration are in apps. That's the main reason.

I anyway dislike Firefox, regarding to it's history search options, that don't fit to my needs, so I prefer QupZilla, hopefully QupZilla doesn't follow this new design.

It's possible to enable the minimize/maximize buttons for it, and it does respect whatever theme you're using. It's intended to save vertical space by making a separate menu/toolbar unnecessary. There are some window managers not implementing EWMH properly (Xfce's window manager) and you will get a redundant title bar on top of the header bar. You can blame Chromium/Chrome and Firefox for making this popular.

Re: [arch-general] Bluetooth keyword layout in Gnome 3.12
Thanks for reply. My bluetooth keyboard itself does not have numlock. On my laptop, I tried to switch numlock on/off, but this did not work either.
