Re: [ros-dev] Off-topic: Understanding win32k system calls - help please

Hi,

It's well known that sometimes Windows will create Windows with  
negative coordinates (maybe you're treating them as unsigned). This is  
how I believe "minimize" works or some other strange GUI behavior  
that's been there since Win 3.1... rchen blogged about it some couple  
years ago.
