Sarah, I was never able to find a workaround for this. I was able to get past it by using a custom titlebar (this was by design for the project, so it worked out OK) but this is by no means a solution. The one hack that was proposed which seemed to have some merit was to display the video in a separate decoration-less palette stack at the intended player location above the main stack. I believe on Windows the moveStack message is sent while dragging a standard window, so you could account for users dragging the main stack and reposition the video stack simultaneously. Of course, minimizing the main stack will present some challenges. Had I needed to deliver my app with standard system decorations, I probably would have gone this route. I haven't had a chance to play with Rev 4.5 but if the title issue is still present, I fully agree that this a major issue and needs to be dealt with ASAP. I don't see how anyone can take an app seriously that can't even display its own name properly.
