[comp.windows.x] X borders

Has anyone found a way to change the border width on an open window without
having to close it and re-open it in X 10.4? (how about someday when we
switch to 11?)

Using "XMoveWindow", "XChangeWindow", and "XConfigureWindow", I can move and
size the window to anything I want. Using "XChangeBackground" and 
"XChangeBorder", I can change the pixmap for the background and the border of
a window. Am I missing something or is there no call to change the border
width?

Version 10 cannot change the border width of a window.

Version 11 can change the border with of a window (and in fact at least one
window manager does precisely this).
