I fully agree. I like the OS X border-less style, but of course that 
necessitates a compositing engine + drop shadows.

I think a very minimal window border would go a long way to 
professionalizing and de-cartooning the GNOME desktop. As I see it right 
now, the wide borders reflect the very annoying hard-outlined GNOME 
style icons. This is a trend that seems to be self-perpetuating for no 
good reason (look at the icon sheets for Firefox 3. See the Linux set? 
Why are we making new icons that look like they're stuck in 1998?).
