Well what's happening is that in managed mode GetDCEx( DCX_WINDOW)
gets a dc with its top starting at the bottom of the window
decoration. The apps assumes that the top is the top of the caption
and starts drawing on it, so everything appears a caption height too
low. Maybe what we should do is to set dc->OrgY to -(caption height).
At least this should hide the draw attempts to the caption.
If the app used SetWindowText in the first place we wouldn't have this
problem ;)
