No, but thats because I have a hard time finding a window manager that does not override the border width and sets it to 0, jsu because it looks bad.  What you see is probably not the border, but the window manager decorations.

That is a separate issue.  It is up tp the application if it want to request a new size.  But it is up to the window manager if it wants to grant or constrain that request.
