I installed a trivial fix for the missing right 3D border -- it seems
to only hit a boxed stretch glyph.


But the result (in ses-mode) isn't pleasing ... the cell contents gets
more and more misaligned with the header line.  I tracked this to a
problem with the calculation of the size of a :box'ed stretch glyph.

I'm not sure how the fix I've installed for this may break other code
using box'ed stretch glyphs.  

The fix is to simply assume that the specified :width, :height or :align-to
includes the face box width/height (which seems to be TRT, as the code
using this shouldn't have to take special actions for boxed faces (which
are often used in header (and mode) lines.

Please report any problems -- if any, there  probably is a trivial
fix at the Lisp level !!
