As far as I remember, the idea was to support both client and server
side decorations. It would be required to do something like
GtkAboutDialog does to detect if it should display the HeaderBar or not.

My opinion is that it would require too much work to keep two different
versions of the UI, and basically I did not went down that path, and
kept that branch dormant for a while until the subject was raised once
again.

I took the work started by Sagar Ghuge, who changed the main window,
while I ported the dialogs. The work is pushed to my github repository,
branches are headerbar (for the main window) and dialogs.
