Okay, when I run it, I get a sort of shallow three-d thing. There is a
1-pixel shadow on the left and bottom edges. The top and left edges are
flat. There is no window border.

I am positive we used to be able to set a regular modal window with real
window borders. Scott Raney just told me it wasn't so, that it was
impossible to do what I want. I could have sworn I did it before...

I guess I'll have to make a picture of a border and show that. Won't
look right on Windows though.
