It doesn't really *want* to, but there's some bug or unimplemented feature
in Wine that causes it to fail to initialize a certain pointer. From what
I recall, this pointer would be stored as extra window data using
Get/SetWindowLong, but I didn't find out why it didn't get initialized.

Couldn't this be a result of the uninitialized pointer?
