However, just doing a SetWindowPos() on WM_KILLFOCUS won't insure that a
window stays in front.  Take the case that my app has already lost focus.
Now someone moves another window in front of it.  I need some way to detect
that that's happened, and I don't see any appropriate WM message which does
that.
