Is that not to make it tablet friendly?

KWheezy 1.5 released

" Kwheezy is a Debian based operating system designed for general purpose desktop computing.

Not so much a distribution based on Debian, but rather "a well configured Debian KDE installer". It is designed to give you more out-of-the-box. To be easier for Linux or Debian newcomers. It is full-featured, with all the applications, plugins, fonts and drivers that you need for daily use, and some more.
Kwheezy is 100% compatible with Debian 7.4."

The window title bars annoyed the heck out of me - it seems pedantic to say but on my 1366x768 display its simply squandered screen space. Back to openbox with its minimal window decoration for me

I have 2 2560x1440 monitors, between the default window bars and the shell's top panel, it still eats nearly an inch of the screen, ....I pity anyone rocking Gnome 3 on a tablet.

Its just bad UXD, for tablets or not. I'm sure 99.99% of Gnome 3 users are on the desktop

Are the window title bars a fixed pixel height, or a relative height? I thought on a display such as yours they might 'scale down' with respect to the high resolution and be a bit less noticeable.
