for what its worth, we had to tackle this too in xmonad, which now has an extension, 'smart borders', that tries to apply this rule. given any layout, it uses some heuristics to hide the border of windows in that layout (its a layout modifier, basically) http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-NoBorders.html so any layout, with a single client, or a fullscreen client, or a floating window at fullscreen, etc. for the xinerama case, its a bit tricky: you sometimes need the border to decide which screen has focus. -- Don
