Aha, found it! I needed to set the "contentPadding" property to zero.
That fixed the issue. I don't know why I didn't see that before, even
after seeing the value in the Firebug DOM properties. Once I looked at
the theme appearance contents for the window class, it was staring me in
the face.
Thanks,
Gene
