How does Windows 7/8 do this? Obviously they do something right? It allows for some pretty complex/advanced stuff (Firefox/Chrome?) but also makes most applications look like they "fit in".
I couldn't give a shit about any media players or file managers, all I want out of CSD/DWD is Firefox/Chrome _native_ tabs in the titlebar. Chrome does it, but it hacks it's way to that.

Personally, I don't really see the point. They should either stick with SSD or go full CSD, this kind of halfway implementation won't really satisfy anyone.

Other than that, yes AFAIK most of the drawbacks of CSD are already thought of in eg gnome-shell - the decorations are client side, but AFAIK the server is sent hints for where the window controls are and if the program freezes, those regions can remain active and working.

And those other features are not tied to the window manager, they would also work with CSD, or with SSD with this stuff turned off. So you could turn off the title bar stuff but still have it on your phone, for example. Or vice versus.
I have actually been hoping someone would implement something like this for a long time. I am surprised it took until now.
