Because it's not correct. OpenGL's SetPixelFormat on the desktop window 
(GetDC(0)) is supposed to fail, or at least did when I made tests for it a few 
years ago. I think a better fix would be for wined3d to use a dummy surface, 
or a renderless context (available with OpenGL 3.0), if it's asked to use the 
desktop window.
