    It would appear that when you display a Requester on a SIMPLE_REFRESH
window, you get a REFRESH message *before* the requester appears, and a
blank hole after it has left. Is this a bug ?

    Currently, I've added the following code after a requester disappears:
        /* After requester clears, we don't receive a REFRESH message, so: */
        if (win->WLayer->Flags & LAYERREFRESH)
        {
            BeginUpdate(win->WLayer);
            /* Refresh window */
            EndUpdate(win->WLayer, TRUE);
        }
    Is this ok ?

    Finally, is there any official way to add a clipping region to a window ?
I'm currently using a horrible hack (the more I look at it, the less I like
it).
