Maybe it requires a working Windows® event loop in your application, as is typical for GUI applications on any platform. Windows typically generate all sorts of events, like mouse clicks, key strokes, resize events etc. They add up in the event queue and a white window like yours is typical of Windows® to indicate that "this application is no longer working off its event loop. (Or in your case never started to do so.) If that is indeed the problem, worry not, because most events can be handled by the default handler, but you'll need to write an simple event loop. I'm not sure, but it could be that you'll need to create a dummy window as well since event loops work with window handles. Maybe it is ok to pass 0 everywhere, maybe you need a valid handle.
That's rather unfortunate, as I was using DSFML as my main event generator and handler. I had a DSFML window up already that I was calling that function from. I don't know how to make the crossover between the two in D. I think I'll have to look into GtkD instead. Thanks for the idea, though.
