"border 0" in [gemwin] on Linux uses the override_redirect option in X11's 
XCreateWindow(). This causes the window to be untouchable and unlisted.

Contrast this with "border 0" in [#out window] on Linux, which uses 
MotifWmHints to remove the border and decorations (buttons,title,etc), but 
allows Alt+leftdrag, Alt+rightdrag and Alt+middleclick to still work (or 
whatever key+mouse shortcuts you have mapped for move/resize/menu). This 
also makes the window listed in all window-lists (incl Alt+tab).

[gemwin]'s "border 0" is the equivalent of GF's
   [#out window here override_redirect] instead.
