No, it was a conscious design choice. The borders were added to remedy a
resizing problem (hard to resize from the sides) and to define a window's
borders even without shadows. This was only supposed to be in the beta
release but made it to final because no one was complaining IIRC (until I
stumbled upon a forum post, and this bug of course). We're open to
suggestions about this problem.

As a workaround, download the Dust Extras package and select Dust Borderless
as window controls to get the old borders.
