I agree that it would be nice to turn it off, or have the border
size be user configurable.

But anyway..

Did anyone ever notice that walking menus that extend outside
the sunview window don't have the ugly 16 pixel borders?

I'm just hoping that all our tools can be rewritten in X soon!

I ran the normal X11R4 instead of OpenWindows one time, and it
seemed to be about twice as fast!  Plus, it started up in seconds
instead of minutes!
