Re-read my comments, please.  There is *nothing* to regress test for.  The
problem, once the rules of behavior were worked out, has been present in all
tests I have conducted.  Earlier posters (submitting V2.6 and 4.x [sic]) have
not commented on this issue but it's highly likely that the problem existed
then.  

The Windows version is poorly implemented in several areas.  Please re-read my
comments regarding the app's (in my opinion) mishandling of the "no change"
event for display formats, even under Windows.  It is, at best, poorly formed
and more likely simply not thought through fully.  App performance, then,
follows that deficiency in planning.  

As for Wine development, it appears there is no support for the case of
creating a window, for an app, which is then discarded or at least no longer
seen in the task bar, while a service tray icon remains although the app
continues to run (examples that come to mind quickly include CDMax, Avast!'s
anti-virus package, and MS's network connection tool).  Should this support
exist under Wine, then WXTide32 would benefit from that support.  Until that
point, however, there is nothing further to be done.  This is, as far as I can
see, not a bug but a lack of development in a particular area.
