This has nothing to do with the thread.  The problem was that a window's
title bar was still appearing in a borderless window even though the
window's title was set to NULL.  It turns out that the window's title
was set to "" (the null string) rather than NULL (the null pointer).

ShowTitle() hides the screen's title bar.  It allows the application to
place the screen's title bar either in front of or behind any backdrop
windows that are open on the screen.
