Personally I find the risk of using the private key too great and would never risk it except in case wallet recovery is required. I instead only use the desktop wallet as the desktop wallet has far better security. Then again, I do not even keep my .db3 file on my computer as added security measure. There are other NEO holders who find using various private key wallets the greatest thing ever. The private key wallets are very fast and some make it much easier to claim GAS. I suppose it all depends on how much you value security.

Anyone who has basic NEO questions, should read the following NEO FAQ first as that will most likely resolve basic issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/NEO/comments/6p7bvv/new_to_rneo_read_this_post_first_rules_faq/That NEO Reddit is the greatest centre of NEO information besides the official NEO website.

I'm still confused.
On the asset-tab, I can see NeoGAS +0(11.12345)
On the account tab, I can see the NEO I'm holding. Next to it I see the NeoGAS I'm holding and the amount is zero (0). Am I supposed to do something to claim the actual GAS to my wallet account or...?
Also I'm unable to transfer GAS
You can find the answer to that on this very page as I answered it a few posts above your own. Alternatively you can read the FAQ link I posted above which also contains the answer and leads to this link:

Why are people taking Neo seriously, when there's only one active developer on GitHub? Really, only one, not even two.
And please don't tell me that they're working in a private repository, or some repository used only by Chinese people, which you can't link to.
I'm honestly curious about this. You would have thought that after raising so much money, they'd use it to create a working wallet, some apps and whatever else is needed.
No reply to this one.
This has been answered at the NEO Reddit on various occasions. If you have serious questions, you should ask them at the NEO Reddit as the NEO developers are there every day (but not this forum) and I can assure you that they will refute your statements. They do not primarily use Github. The NEO core developers do not create wallets and dAPPs. You obviously have not even bothered to read the recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the NEO founders. The non-core developers such as the City of Zion developer group creates wallets and are in fact busy porting Ethereum dApps to NEO. The City of Zion developers group also posts weekly updates and are in regular contact with the core developers. If you want to see what they are up to or have serious questions, you would be better of joining the NEO Slack channel, but you likely will not as your screen name seems to indicate you have another agenda.

is it possible to claim directly in the neo web wallet?. I see the unclaimed gas balance but if i press the claim button, nothing happens. Does ist take some time ?
I believe that the Neo web wallet does not have that functionality at the moment (but I might be mistaken), but GAS should still be accumulating from what I understand. You can of course try another wallet such as the Neon wallet of City of Zion (tutorial video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWZFiixYfnM&feature=youtu.be ) or any of the other wallets listed at the NEO Reddit on the right hand side.
