the method border_width was replaced in gtk2 with set_border_width and is now
deprecated. the official word:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkContainer.html#gtk-container-border-width

and therefore isn't impelemented. the only execptions made in such cases where
when nothing replaced the deprecated functionality (why gtk2 deprecated such
things i do not know)
