Actually, it's even worse than that.  I can get the handle by doing a
hCaption=GetNextWindow(hWnd, GW_HWNDPREV).  But even if I sit there and do
ShowWindow(hCaption, SW_HIDE) all day, the stupid window won't disappear!
If I try to do a DestroyWindow(hCaption) then next time I restore and
minimize the window, the system hangs (no, I'm not trying to destroy the
same window again).

There must be some way to do this!
