[Mono-winforms-list] RFC on winforms / XIM clientWindow fixage

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

After fixing couple of issues, I found a fix for this WaitForHwndMessage()
issue. The situation is that (in some cases?) WM_SHOWWINDOW could be 
processed
synchronously inside SendMessage() and when we reach WaitForHwndMessage(),
the MSG is already consumed and hence never shows up.

The attached patch fixes this issue. I'm still not sure why this does not
happen when we don't create XIM context for each client window, but
the sample repro in my last mail[*1] gets fixed with this patch.

If it looks okay, I'll commit this small change. I'm still not going to 
commit
my XIM changes, as there are still pending fixes on bugzilla[*2] and there
seems another MDI issue that needs fix too.
