	I don't know what the right way is, but you could
	hide the window and restore it, possibly in the same call,
	depending if windows does the smart thing.

|"Arrange Icons" from the Task Manager.

	Guess: it is asking for an icon to display while minimized
	try creating a class w/o an icon and if you get this msg
	return the handle of an icon
