The state of client-side windows

[Matthias Clasen <matthias clasen gmail com>]

Hey,

I think it is time to give a little update on the work that Alex and
some others have been doing on making client-side windows work in the
real world.

We believe that we are generally in pretty good shape now. There are
of course individual applications that do problematic (or even crazy)
things which break with csw, but there is really only one thing that
is currently known broken in GDK: handling of extended input events,
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588649 for that.

For all csw-related bugs that we are currently tracking, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=product%3A%22gtk%2B%22+csw

This migration guide is listing some of the problems apps may run into with csw:
