Nope. As I said, I guess we need a separate section for that.
Better way to do it then?
Using SendMessage to do the changes in the proper context; but we need a separate process to manage the window, we don't want to go around creating threads behind the application's back.
Is that a condition for the patch going in then? Also, is there a reason not to create threads behind the apps back? What I mean is, does that break some apps that don't expect it, or is it just a cleanliness thing.
IIRC Microsoft not only create threads but entire windows implicitly as part of the OLE APIs.
