Sorry I was not clear.

Look at the preformatted code fragments (the ones with beige background). They 
are supposed to have a border all around them, but only the left edge is 
shown,and the rest is not visible.

If I make the border thicker, it is visible all around, but the left edge is 
always thicker.

Looking a bit harder, it seems the problem is that the border is apparently 
drawn "outside" the XPreformatted's area. Since the KeepInFrame clips like 
this:

                p = canv.beginPath()
                p.rect(x, y, self.width,self.height)
                canv.clipPath(p,stroke=0)

The border gets clipped. I don't know why the left edge is still visible, 
though.
