I have a popupWindow with a widget inside that can accept resize
requests.  It seems as if the controlArea that this widget is in is not
passing the resize request down to it.

So then I tried stuffing this widget in a baseWindowShell.  The resizes
worked like a charm, but the window decorations were wrong for the kind
of window I wanted (it had a full menu with a "Quit" item that would bag
the whole application).  I wanted the so-called limited menu that the
popupWindows have.

I tried to use the undocumented SetWMDecorationHints() function.  It looks
as if the information is being set (a later GetWMDecorationHints() comes
back with the set values), but the window does not change.

Can anybody out there help?
