I am a X novice, and have run into a small problem:
I am using the Athena Widget Set, and need to display
the label widget without the border.

What is the best of doing that ?
I found two ways:
one is to set the borderColor to XtDefaultBackground
and the other is to set the borderWidth to 0

Which is more preferable/portable ? I prefer the borderWidth
method, but could run into problems if some X systems ignore
widths of 0, and use the smallest possible width available (for example,
use 1 as the width).

Other solutions will be appreciated, too.
(I am using Wcl to generate a UI specification.)
