Re: perltray/tk intercept windows minimize function

I thought I had this one settled.

The order of execution for Maximize within the code below causes the 
window to be sized without regard to the width of the task bar.   Its 
draws a portion of the window behind the task bar.  Its hard to see this 
happening without some sort of bordering placed at the lower extremities 
of the window like the one in my previous example.  You can prove this 
by dragging the window upwards a little bit (by grabbing the title bar) 
and noting that you still do not expose the bottom edge from under the 
task bar.  It has something to do with calling Win32::GUI::Maximize or 
Win32Util::maximize ~after~ the alteration of the window style.  Sadly 
though,  previously  I thought I had gotten around this by calling the 
maximize before the alteration of the window style.  That does work and 
with using either the Win32::GUI::Maximize or Win32Util::maximize subs, 
but then I found that if you have to call maximize again (like after a 
deiconify request) at some point, then it exhibits the same problem 
which I am trying to avoid. 

I tried going back to my initial plans and implementing Nick's 
suggestions with caching the minimize event, so I could just call a 
withdraw, but I never could figure that out.  It would be nice to have 
that feature someday, but it's definitely not a requirement.
