Thanks Ove; that'll do for a working hypothesis.  (I wish Microsoft would be
consistant)

Just for the record it is clearly more complex than that.  I guess since
Microsoft wrote it we can trust Spy++ a little.  I have seen spy++ declare
that a "tooltips" class window (style 0x84800000/00000088) has style
WS_OVERLAPPED whereas a "tooltips_class32" class window (style
0x84800003/00000088) doesn't.
