This strange behavior happend in win2000/XP. I didn't do a test on NT. Here
is what I did.

1. Click "Show Desktop" button in Quick Launch bar. It hides all open
windows and shows the desktop.
2. Double-click the Time at the Status bar(Systray). The Date/Time
Properties window would popup.
3. Click the background desktop. Then the strange bahavior happens, the Time
Window would disappear!!

Can anyone knows why this would happen or know details of ToggleDesktop
method of Shell? Since I have a similar GUI app as Time app, it has this
issue too. Thanks

Well, FWIW, the same thing happens to me (XP). How about that? I know that
the show desktop is a bit different from minimize-all-windows, because
show-desktop will force unminimizable windows to be hidden. So, I can only
theorize that it is a quirk/bug.
