Clearly the application doesn't depend on this exact code (if it's not using a
hook or subclassing or anything), so it must depend on some distant side
effect. The only question is whether that side effect can be achieved in a more
reasonable manner, which is why I really want to know what it is.

Is it really correct that SetParent() on a non-visible window should cause any
focus changes? That seems surprising to me. If it's not correct, I think that's
what should be fixed instead.
