Note that containers have a border_width resource...

Scrolled_window is a bit more tricky.
There is a bug in the viewport (at least it was there in 0.99.0)
in the size allocate function. if the viewport->shadow_type is
SHADOW_NONE,  the window is not resized correctly (it just 
doesn't draw the shadows). I posted a patch to fixed that some
days ago. 

The big problem in scrolled_window is that the space between
the scrollbar and the viewport is a define (a not a resource).
I made a patch to change that (replacing the define with a
resource which is more logical), but I didn't send it.
I'll post it tomorrow.
(FYI the define is 5 :) ).
