  Style ... NoTitle, HandleWidth 0

I've played a bit with aterm 0.3.6 and the transparency seems to be badly
broken. If the window has a border and is moved the background immediately
gets the border coulour. There are lots of other strange effects too.
I got the transparent borderless window working withouth a problem though.
I recommend you put the style

  Style aterm HandleWidth 0

in your config file so that the window never gets a border at all.
This should be reported to the aterm developers.
