Hi. What you do is always start with adding a Vbox or Hbox in your frame
and then add the widgets you want. Then you can set the border_width. I
always does it like this bcs in a frame on can only add one thing. And
don't mind that you have to use an extra box. Gtk is designed to use
boxes for layout so it does not give you overhead penalites.

I more or less never use Set-Border_Width around buttons or other
widgets like this. I do it in boxes or buttonboxes etc...
