Not everything belongs in core. What I usually suggest in IRC is:

   setBorder bw = ask >>= \w -> liftX (withDisplay $ \d -> io $
setWindowBorderWidth d w bw) >> idHook

and then apply it to windows in the ManageHook.
An argument could possibly be made for that function going into the core...
but probably should start out in contrib.
