I presume this is what's happenning:
1. The window is created with widht=0 and heigh=0
2. The window is then activated/put on the foreground
3. Then the size of the window is changed to something that make sense.
I'm not sure how to fix this problem yet, I will need to think about it. I
should be able to find the right winhelp reproducing this behvior. I've got
just a couple quick questions on your setup:
Are you using any native DLL?
Which desktop/WM are you using? (KDE? Gnome?) Some Window managers are very
sensitive to Z ordering with Wine.
