That is pretty great, thank you for taking the time! Some of these
things unfortunately are design-decisions by GNOME, which I raised in
IRC discussions a while ago, and where I think the interest is pretty
low for fixing them (after getting some feedback on e.g. the CSD
menus).
However, to support the cross-desktop efforts, the GNOME people should
maybe make a few compromises (e.g. make GTK+ behave differently on
other DEs), especially since GTK+ is not just for GNOME but also used
by other projects.
Let's see what happens :-)
Cheers,
