OK, I'm one step further and found out which packages to downgrade to
prevent that strange frame/border around Gnome-windows-problem:
The following downgrades prevent the problem:
Downgrade of gtk3 (3.16.1-1 => 3.14.9-1)
Downgrade of nautilus (3.16.0-1 => 3.14.2-2)
Downgrade of totem (3.16.0-1 => 3.14.2-1)
I found it by downgrading Nautilus at first. The problem kept appearing, in
terminal was the message: (starting nautilus 3.16)
$ nautilus
(nautilus:3652): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:2:19:
Theming engine 'adwaita' not found

That made me think of downgrading gtk, in which I was right and wrong at
the same time:
The frame-around-windows-problem disappeared, but the waring starting
nautilus stayed:
starting nautilus 3.14:
$ nautilus
(nautilus:5174): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css:2:19:

It will be removed in a future version.
(nautilus:5174): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property
GtkSettings:gtk-menu-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. It
will be removed in a future version.
So thanks for your input!
