Heh, aren't you supposed to be in bed? :)

OK, I sent a fixed patch to wine-patches. I thought ShowWindow/SWP might
do extra things we didn't want to skip, but if the Windows Internals
book says this is what Windows does then we can do that too. On Windows
it returns FALSE if you do that anyway, so it's probably right.

By the way how much is "Windows Internals"? Is it still sold? I should
look into getting a copy.
