I don't know what the "approved" way is, but I do the following:
1) Save the current clip region.
2) Set the current clip region to where the grom icon appears.
3) Call DrawGrowIcon(wind);
4) Restore clip region.

Perhaps kludgy, but it has the advantage that the grow icon is still drawn
by DrawGrowIcon, so it will be drawn in the correct color on color systems,
will still "do the right thing" if someone patches DrawGrowIcon for some
bizarre region.
