I'm running X11 R3 and awm. I can't seem to figure out
how to set the border color of a window I create. 
Here's some of what I tried to get a black border color (on
a bw machine).

  attr.border_pixel = XBlackPixel(dpy, 0);
  attr.event_mask = ButtonPressMask | ExposureMask;
  attr.background_pixel = WhitePixelOfScreen(scr);  
  
  win = XCreateWindow(dpy, RootWindowOfScreen(scr),
		      winx, winy, winw, winh, 0, 
		      DefaultDepthOfScreen(scr), InputOutput,
		      DefaultVisualOfScreen(scr),
		      CWBackPixel | CWBorderPixel | CWEventMask, &attr);
  
  gc = XCreateGC(dpy, win, 0, NULL);

Other alternatives I tried instead of the first line above were

  attr.border_pixel = XBlackPixel(dpy, 0);
  attr.border_pixel = BlackPixel(dpy, scr);
  attr.border_pixel = BlackPixelOfScreen(scr);

Nothing works. What's wrong? Thanks for the help.
