The UML class source file defines 

#define UMLCLASS_BORDER 0.1

While it can be changed to be settable in the properties, the UML class
code is really fugly and I cannot advice anyone who values his or her
sanity to try to add stuff to it.

Still haven't heard back about the PROP_LIST update that would allow us
to finally get all UML objects into stdprop format (basically, it has to
provide the list-with-properties-per-item like UML Class operations and
attributes).
