Well, undecorated frames don't look bad, but creating them takes a long
time.  The next thing I'll try is to create menu frames with something
similar to the tooltip frame code, but that will probably have other
consequences too, and move more code into C.

By setting the `override-redirect' frame parameter (or `undecorated' on
platforms where the former isn't supported), like any other program.
