This ConfigureNotifyEvent always seemed deeply suspicious to me.
On the other hand, what Koos says makes good sense.
When receiving a ConfigureRequest, we should configure 
the window like a honest window manager. 

I do not know what is going on regarding the border width.
(I am flying away for one week on Monday).  Instead of forcing 
a border width of zero, we probably should leave it as it was.  
Otherwise we might disturb the toolkit of the client application.

Strange. Maybe this forces a relayout of all the widgets ?
