	I have a question about SetWindowTitles and memory allocation.
	Suppose you have a window with a title "Shoobeedoo".
	Let's call SetWindowTitles(window,"Wapdoowap",0).
	What happens to the string "Shoobeedoo" ???

1)	Now who deallocates the memory used by the string "Shoobeedoo" ??
	
2)	It's reasonnable to think that the pointer to the window's titles
	string will be updated. What happens if the string "Wapdoowap" is
	somewhere in the stack, and then after some other code, this
	part of the stack is destroyed ?
	Does SetWindowTitles() copy the string for its own use ??

More generally, do we have such functions that use memory they can't 
deallocate anyway ?
