That sounds like the problem my app is having, too. Now that I
have Spyxx.exe running, I see that a WM_NCPAINT message is sent
to that window in WinMe but not in Wine.
Interestingly, a WM_NCPAINT *does* get sent to the parent
window ("AfxFrameOrView42") in wine. Is it supposed to
percolate down from that to its child area?
