I couldn't get mwm or icewm to give me borders. However, twm did! So
thank you very much for that.

The user, however, thought that it looked ugly. I ended up installing
just gnome-panel and 20 of its dependencies. It isn't a full Gnome
install and when the vnc session isn't active the box doesn't have much
else going on. I was worried there would be a bunch of background stuff,
and there might be with a full gnome install, but just gnome-panels it
is still pretty light.

Thanks for the help!
