SoC idea: fix wine 2398 bug.

[Tom Spear]

If AJ removed it, it wouldnt have been just a simple bug that caused
problems, it would have had to be something either about the way Windows'
windows work vx X11's windows, or maybe the way it was implemented as a
whole was just wrong and so therefore it caused some problems.  If it was
the latter though, I would think that AJ would have just written the same
1:1 mapping with his own code from scratch, so it is probably just that the
2 windows were too incompatible to properly (without problems) do 1:1.
