All I found, that is, going to the gtk-list archives and choosing
``search all mailing lists''.  When I went to the gtk-devel-list
archives just to make sure I got the same results there, I was
surprised to get three times as many hits, again searching ``all
mailing lists''.

Here's another relevant mail from February 2001 [1]:

This is insufficient, since the frame will still draw some ``padding''
around the content, as determined by style->{x,y}thickness.

I don't know the intended semantics of GTK_SHADOW_NONE; perhaps the
fact that padding is added despite the shadow type being set to NONE
could be considered a bug?
