v2: Win8 and Win10 give different results (sometimes even different different results), so mark some cases as broken. Also simplify the patch overall.
I don't think that painting on the desktop window is a very useful test, and it can fail for various reasons. If the goal is to test LockWindowUpdate, you should do that with top-level windows instead.
If painting to desktop is not interesting, then bug 52 (the oldest open bug) should probably be closed.
As I mentioned in a comment there, that's mostly a WONTFIX. There may be a use for LockWindowUpdate in other cases, but scribbling over the desktop is not a particularly interesting case.
A program use case: IDA 5 Free relies on this while doing heavy loading, to reproduce just try to open any exe file and notice the LockWindowUpdate calls.
