Fair enough. The API doc does say FrmDrawForm saves the background
bits, which I hadn't picked up on. However I should note the symptom
Chris described (the drawn gadgets getting incorrectly restored onto the
background when the form is closed) never occurs in my app, since all
these forms are full screen non modal instead of modal dialogs.
Obviously if there was any visible clue that my draw calls were in the
wrong order, we wouldn't be discussing this. :-)

Cool. I can safely leave my code as-is for now (major milestone coming
up, don't want to break it) and fix it later. You can imagine, I had a
bit of panic when I tried out this app on 3.2 for the first time and
observed that half the user interface was missing.
