Sample project

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;
Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729;
Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; MALC)

App has a simple win-form with 1 label and another background form that waits
for WM_DEVICECHANGE notifications from windows to monitor device plug/unplug.
When a device change is detected, we run a timer to push forward actual
processing since multiple such notifications are sent by Windows.

When we try to use a simple Invoke from the timer, as such, it does not update
form if we move the form while all this is happening.

        private void PerformDeviceChange(object state)
        {
            this.Invoke(new UpdateDelegate(UpdateProc));
        }

        void UpdateProc()
        {
            // increment text on label
            label1.Text = (Convert.ToInt32(label1.Text) + 1).ToString();
        }

Doing this directly, without a timer works. Offcourse this works for .NET.
Once this happens, continuing to do so many times will result in the process
later failing to exit - deadlocked in GDIPLUS.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run sample app
2. Use any USB device that you have and plug in - see number on label increment
3. Now unplug device - same increment.
4. Now plug back while dragging window - label will not be updated (try a few
times)...
Actual Results:  
Label will not update every time I plug/unplug a device if I move the window
while doing so.


Expected Results:  
Label to be updated every time and process to exit even if I plug/unplug 20
times...
