I guess that the xfreerdp just creates a window that is large enough and 
positioned in a way that hides the window borders. However, Qubes OS AFAIK 
does not allow the positioning for security reasons. However, you can do 
this yourself. It depends on your desktop environment and configuration, 
there is rough howto for Xfce:

* Adjust the window position by alt+left-click and movement.
* Adjust the window size by alt+right-click and movement.
* If needed, make the window always-on-top by Alt+Space and selecting 
Always on Top.

I am pretty sure this can be automated by xdotool or something similar.
