Hi,

Sorry that I couldn't answer that one earlier - it's getting quite hectic for 
me those days...

Hmm, strange, this used to work.

No, that's just a setting. In the actual drawing methods, like drawRect(),
the code says
    if ( cpen.style() != NoPen )
        XDrawRectangle( dpy, hd, gc, x, y, w-1, h-1 );

But we have that, don't we?
By default there's no border, they shouldn't print. Only if you choose a border,
should there be one in the printed output.

?? What do you mean?

I don't see anything missing in the GUI. The default frame border that shows up
on the screen, isn't supposed to be printed...
And AFAICS it's not.

Can you send me a test document that shows your problem? Everything seems
fine to me, from my tests...
