 committed the patch and enabled gert's unit test.  The remaining test
 case seems to hinge on other brokenness.  Going to take a look and
 possibly close this bug (with a redirect to the other bug)

+okay, so this seems to hinge on the fact that in our X implementation,
+WM_SHOWWINDOW is generated as a notification *after* the window has
+been shown or hidden, but on win32, it is generated *before* the
+window has been shown or hidden.
+
+The text of the <a
+href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/setwindowpos.asp">msdn
+ page</a> says:
+
+"The WM_SHOWWINDOW message is sent to a window when the window is
+about to be hidden or shown."
+
+note the "about to be".
+
+sigh.
