That's worth stressing in the docs, I think. Roger has reminded us
repeatedly about using winEnter/Exit to track whether the window is
obscured. It wasn't immediately obvious to me (until I tried it)
that this technique wouldn't work on the command bar.
For many apps, mine included, it's simple to redesign the forms so
that we're not putting any animated stuff where the command bar might
be. Glad we had plenty of lead time to play with the development
roms.
