It seems that WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE overrides WS_BORDER, at least on Win2K.  
Most controls now seem to have this--maybe an archeologist out there 
with some old Win32Lib can tell us what they used to have around the 
v0.50 days (which was when I added the common controls).

It's probably safe to take WS_BORDER off as long as WX_EX_CLIENTEDGE
applies.
