So, that area is called "fringe". Now I can set the color. It's not just
in mythology that knowing a things true name gives you power over it.
Thanks.
I thought I wanted to match the fringe and default background colors, but
now that I've played with it a little bit, I think I'll try slightly
different colors to give a subtle boundary. Black next to blue made a
jarring boundary.

No, apropos RET border RET told me that there was something called border-
color, but looking again, I see it's not a variable so setq doesn't make
sense. There was some method to my flailing.
