Curiously, Tk has some stuff relating to making borders work right (with
a canvas inside) for the Unix tk_getOpenFile implementation[*]. I've no
idea whether it's "right" (probably not actually) but it looks good with
themes like clam and xpnative. If the code's good enough, maybe it can
be split out and used more generally?
