Very ugly.  I don't think it's possible to define it, since this depends
on the library code.  And I really don't want gui_put_line to be called
multiple times.

Another way to handle it would be to have the line_type specify the
"type" of line to draw: grid, border, worker, etc.  This puts some logic
back into the GUI (bad) but allows the GUI to deal with the problems
that might arise.
