The correct incanation is:
w = NewWindow(0L,&rekt,"\pBlah",isVisible,(ProcID * 16) + varCode ,-1L,
              hasGoAway,refcon);

If you just want a standard window, 0 works since (16 * 0) = 0.  I suspect that
since the window manager can't find the WDEF you specified (in your case it 
works out to WDEF proc id = 12,  varcode = 8) it just substitutes the 
plain jane version.   Better than crashing.
