I feel like I've made as many points as I can about the current
situation, but I'll comment on just a couple of things you've brought
up:

These two points kind of cut to my concern about how well 3.12 is being
supported. I totally understand what it's like to be overworked and I
don't want to fault anyone for being lazy (or whatever). My complaint
is about priorities which, of course, is up to Ubuntu to decide.
Well, run a GtkHeaderBar application under Unity and XFCE and nothing
that it gets no border, no way to change the geometry, a weird look, a
different wm control behaviour than other applications.
Note that it's only when GtkHeadarBar is configured to be the
application's title bar that window geometry is locked. When
California and Geary are configured with --enable-unity, they still use
GtkHeaderBar but the user can change geometry (because GtkHeaderBar is
just another widget in the hierarchy). The odd look I always assumed
was a theme issue.
I guess from the discussion that your main issue is the GtkPopup theme
issue?
No, that's not my core issue. If the situation was merely a couple of
GTK-related bugs, I wouldn't have spoken up here as I have.
My core issue is that some comments I've heard on this mailing list
(and elsewhere) indicated to me that not all of 3.12's widges were
being taken seriously by Ubuntu due to a perception that they were
second-class/non-standard/not-used/GNOME-specific/whatever. I raised
my voice to indicate that, no, at least one developer in the world
would like these as well-supported as any widget in GTK.
Lars has been working on that for some week and it's going to be
fixed this cycle, it's only a bug.
That's great news. I do appreciate the effort.
