+Summary: Form: Opacity property always returns 1 on Win32
+
+Repro is ./ch02_Forms/OpacitySample from the sample code for the 
+book "Windows Forms 2.0 Programming," by 
+Chris Sells and Michael Weinhardt, sources available from 
+http://www.sellsbrothers.com/writing/wfbook/
+
+Tested on SVN head on Win32, 1.2.5_5 Win32, and 1.2.3 Win32.
+
+On setting Opacity to (say) 0.5 the window becomes partially transparent, 
+but reading the value back always gives a value of 1.0.  Suse VM shows 
+the correct value for reading back the value[1].
+
+
+The sample sets Opacity=0.5 on Deactivate, and on Activated starts a 
+Timer which in steps increases Opacity by 0.1 to 1.0.  The title bar is 
+updated at every point to contain the current value the property.
+
+Thus on deactivation the text in the title bar should say 0.5.  This is 
+seen on MSFT and Mono on Linux, but Mono on Win32 it always shows 
+value '1'.
+
+
+Notes
+[1] Transparency isn't seen though -- due to VM?  Is there also a 
+rounding issue there -- it completes at value 1.1 not at 1.0?
