In X, windows have a border color, a border width and a border pixmap
but these features are not use by 3d looking widget sets because
they need 2 colors border and 2 colors pixmap. One for the top shadow and
one for the bottom shadow.
So it will be nice to add these attributes directly to the windows.

With this extension :
- it will be easy to extend the athena widgets to 3d looking
- all 3d looking widget sets will not have to send drawing
  orders to the server for their borders each time their are exposed.
