Just insane ;)

  What are you going to do? draw the border

Yup. It's just a basic frame (a "boring" rectangle)

Right, which is why the ecore_evas frame is just a boring rectangle so 
we don't pull in edje there.

  then not in ecore-evas... a separate

Sure, and elm will have the option of doing the window decorations 
(frame) itself if needed/wanted.
