No reason at all, I am just juggling X and PostScript tasks currently,
and in PostScript a linewidth of 0 implies using the smallest possible
width---what I need is that 0 should be taken as NO width---nothing
drawn.

And, in general, since 0 width implies a boundary condition, I was
worried that there might be X systems out there that barfed on it.

Anyway, I guess my fear is unfounded, and thanks for the help, I will
go with setting the borderWidth to zero.
