Not quite .. i did not understood this: "I should be able to see 100%
of the image, and the image's borders should be flush with the XWEM
frame's borders."

There is undocumented(hmm, is there documented anything at all? :)
feature - RelativeParent background for the xwem frames. Parent
window for the xwem frames is normally(excluding embedded frames) is
root window. So if xwem frame uses RelativeParent background mode it
inherits background of root window. To start using it do something
like:
1) Install some background into root window (display -window root)
2) Remove 'background property from xwem-frame-default-properties
(plist-remprop)
3) Create new xwem frame
As you can also note, embedded frames with RelativePraent background
that are embedded to the frames with RelativePraent background also
gets root background, because of chained parent inheritance ..
Steve, is it possible to get visually (e.g. screenshot) of what you
actually want to do?
Thanks!
