[Bug 1281368] [NEW] Decorations: windows should be 'borderless'

 

Public bug reported:

Back in 11.04 it was decided to go borderless but was reverted mainly because of unity-2d. Since then users that wish this could easily adjust in metacity-1.
Now that's gone with the unity-window decorator.
Dark windows look bad with the light grey? 1 px. border, particuarly some video players, gnome-terminal ect. 
(I understand that without a border 2 overlaping terminals may be weird but overall borderless looks better in general use

Or at the least somehow color it something less obvious & distracting.
