Yes, this was in multiwindow mode. But multiwindow mode doesn't use the
internal Windows window manager, does it? I had thought it used an
emulation of it that tried to be as similar as possible.
A native Windows OpenOffice.org starts with a splashscreen that I can
send to the background by clicking on a different window. An
X11-forwarded OOo starts with a splashscreen that stays on top no matter
what. Does this mean that the Windows OOo doesn't draw its splashscreen
with an always-on-top instruction?
