My solution was to write a WDEF that looks like a normal window, but
leaves a hole where the close box is.  Then a close box control fits
in that spot, but FindWindow recognises it as part of the content
region, and so SystemClick doesn't close the whole desk accessory.

I have the source for this hack here if you want it.
