+Summary: SWF.Control::CreateControl not always called
+
+Description of Problem:
+  Under certain circumstances, the CreateControl() method of Control is
+  not called.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+  The problem is reproduced with the attached test case. It consists of
+  a custom Form and a custom Control. The control changes its background
+  colour from red to green when OnControlCreated notification is received.
+  The Form displays two checkboxes which also indicate whether
+  OnControlCreated has been called for the Form and the Control,
+  respectively. The test case takes one command-line argument: When
+  "-direct" is the first parameter on the command-line, the custom Form
+  is passed directly to Application.Run. Otherwise, a generic Form is
+  created with a Button which, when clicked, creates the custom Form and
+  calls its Show() method.
+
+Actual Results:
+  When the "-direct" flag is passed to the test case, CreateControl() is
+  called as expected for both the Form and the Control it contains.
+  However, without the "-direct" flag, when the problem Form is not the
+  first form created (the form passed to Application.Run), neither Form
+  nor Control have their CreateControl method called.
+
+Expected Results:
+  Based on observation of code running under Microsoft's implementation of
+  System.Windows.Forms, CreateControl should always be called at some
+  point near the start of the control's lifetime.
+
+Additional Information:
+  'pdb' of #mono-winforms on irc.gnome.org created an initial patch, in
+  his words a hack. It is attached to this bug for reference, in case
+  it will help with the creation of a production-quality patch.
