i can see another solution:
right now we do that to look good in panels, to stick it to the border...
that means the corresponding applet has a location that is Top, Right, Left or 
Bottom.

if the dialog is not attached to an applet this way, or whatever is attached 
to has like a Desktop location, I could change the behaviour that wouldn't 
remove borders anymore (seems to make sense from a logical POV)

Aaron, Weng, would this solution be ok?

in that way wouldn't be possible anymore to write a pure qml applet, also, the 
syncronization of geometry between the window and the viewed item in the scene 
is not trivial, so better not duplicate that code ;)
