I tried both of the suggestions I received about how to overcome this 
issue.  Unfortunately both of them didn't work.

So it tried a few different situations to see what would happen.


1. During preOpenStack, the systemWindow property is set to true.  The 
decorations are not set, and are the default.

	Result = System Window!

2. During preOpenStack, the systemWindow property is set to true.  The 
decorations are set to "empty".

	Result = Not a System Window :(

3. During preOpenStack, the decorations are set to "empty", then the 
systemWindow property is set to true.

	Result = Not a System Window :(

4. During preOpenStack, set the decorations to 
"title,menu,minimize,maximize,close,system".

	Result = System Window!

5. During preOpenStack, set the decorations to "empty,system".

	Result = Not a System Window :(  Has a border :(


So, from what I've been able to determine.  You cannot have a window 
without decorations become a System Window on Windows XP.  I guess I'll 
have to post this issue to bugzilla.  And another program idea in the trash!
