The current display engine need to position windows on a multiple of
the frame default column width, so it is not trivial to introduce a
'thin line all the way up'.
It is on my plan for 'after next release' to get rid of this restriction.
Once that is done, adding a thin line will be easier, so I don't want
to spend time now on a halfbaked solution. At least, 21.4 will not be
any worse than 21.3.
