Hi Sumner,

Check out the discussion of -[NSWindow
setContentBorderThickness:forEdge:] in the AppKit release notes.
Here's some of it, but it's probably better to read it in context.

"The behavior of -setContentBorderThickness:forEdge:NSMinYEdge and
-setAutorecalculatesContentBorderThickness:NO forEdge:NSMinYEdge for
non-textured windows will do the following: The top gradient will be
repeated in the bottom border, separator lines will be drawn between
the content and the bottom border, and the bottom corner will be
rounded. Other methods on non-textured windows or unused edges will
return 0.0 or YES."
