    I tried it both ways: first, border retention uncheck - as it
seems to be your case - used <borders>yes</borders> to give xterm a
border when undecorated. It didn't work.
    Then I checked border retention and I meant to have *only* xterm
without a border. It didn't work because it retained the border from
the general conf. I wanted to use the option to customize border
appearance on a case-by-case basis, but as you can see from Mikael
Magnusson's message on this thread, <decor></decor> is not supposed to
have further options. It's just yes or no.

I run 3.4.7.2 and since the developer himself says your customization
shouldn't exist, I suspect it was patched by gentoo. :-)
Although not a must-have, it would a nice addition to mainline Openbox.
