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.

FALSE returned by ShowWindow doesn't mean a failure. ShowWindow returns previous visibility status, and FALSE means that a window was invisible.

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

I bought russian translation of the book in 1995. Original book was published in 1993 by Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-62217-3.
