That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/81038 "The section containing the icons is contained in a container within the window. This leaves a small amount of emptiness around it and the metacity border, as well as the scrollbar and the bottom of the window.

Created attachment 88406 [details] [review] Remove the top border The problem is the usage of GtkFrame as parent class of ShellWindow.

Changed ShellWindow to be a child class GtkAlignment instead.
