KDE or Gnome?

KDE: Control Center -> Desktop -> Window Behaviour -> Advanced -> 
Active Desktop Borders

Gnome: I can't find this either on my Gnome 2.12 but I know RH had it 
till at least v9. It's a function of the window manager and RH9 used 
Sawfish IIRC - maybe Metacity doesn't implement this (along with all 
the other features that the metacity developers seem to think we are 
better off without.....)
