I don’t believe that the window (i.e. the client area) itself goes out
of screen. I reckon it’s only the border.

For me it’s both on the left and the right edge. Can’t tell about top or
bottom though, due to window title bars and bottom panel, respectively.

When I first noticed it I was confused at the beginning, but then though
it must be intentional. Because if I put a window into a corner, I
usually put it there on purpose. It also gives me a few more pixels to
work with, which is especially useful on a netbook.

You can resize windows with Alt+RMB anyway, you don’t need window
borders for that. (Linux window managers FTW)
