The problem Steam shows is common to all boarderless Apps which don't specify 
the WS_EX_APPWINDOW flag. Fixing it is quite tricky, as we need a good rule 
which windows should be managed. With my patch applied a few other bugs 
occur:
*Moving the Steam Window to the screen boader causes a bad conflict between 
Steam and KDE
*The Quicktime Window can't be moved any more.
*The tool boxes in MS Visual Studio 6 become managed and have a close button. 
If you accidentaly close one, the whole VS shuts down.

These might be real regressions, or allready existing bugs, which are only 
shown by my patch. I am not sure, and the whole thing is really tricky.

Stefan
