I'm game, but I don't have the hardware to test the code on.  How about
mailing me the code to walk the list and correct the window state data;
I'll package it into an INIT that patches MoveWindow, and send it back
to you for testing; then we can post the INIT with source code here.
Sounds pretty straightforward all around.

Well, actually, if you do this, it will interfere with the INIT unless
the application does it once after every MoveWindow.
