[as-devel] Frames & internal errors

	I've been working on a new look.DEFAULT which incorporates frames
as well as the new MultiGradients.  I'm finding that if not all aspects of
the frames are used, internal errors are created.  While in itself, this
is no big deal for the seasoned user, but if a new snapshot were to go out
with this new look, each newly created window would spew out three of
these errors messages, sending the normal user into bitch mode about
errors. :) I don't know if Rafal has the time to fix these or not, but
looking at the requests for the Gnome Pager to work as expected with AS,
it appears he hasn't had much time lately.
	Let me explain what I am doing and what the erros are.  I am not
using the FrameNW, FrameNorth, or FrameNE entries, but instead making
somewhat of a "U" with the frames.  The errors are created from these
three items being expected, but not existing.  Everything seems to
function without a hitch and displays correctly.  The errors are the
following (thrice) -
	AfterStep: internal error
	      Request 1, Error 2
	      EventType: 20  

	Hopefully this is a simple fix, and can be incorporated into one
of the next few patches prior to a new snapshot.
