However, this is actually a rather broken way to do the frame stuff (see
bug #96374 and discussions on the usability mailing list) and we'd kind
of prefer it if you didn't do it like this :)

Personally I'd just set the border width of the frame to 6 pixels and
forget about the indentation, until we have a better solution built into
the toolkit... at least that's what I do and nobody's complained so far
:)

Cheeri,
Calum.
