Some issues with the dialogs (preference, export, publish, ...)
- they don't have borders which makes they look flat/weird and difficult
to resize
- the wm control are different on those (one big close button compared
to 3 round ones using the unity theme)
- the titlebar don't hide when maximized
- right clicking on those decoration don't give the option to e.g move
to other workspaces or keep on top which wm decorations do

Those packages don't really have a dedicated maintainer in Ubuntu at the
moment. We merge geary from Debian and didn't package California yet.
The Ubuntu Desktop Team doesn't especially have free cycles to work on
those at the moment but if anyone is interested to work on them please
give us a ping, we can help with sponsoring.
