Huh. That's really weird, for sure. Why would opening the Terminal via the shell extension change the window parenting?

It's not a defterm issue, cause wt.exe is getting launched directly. I coulda swore there was another issue around here for something similar, a situation where the phwnd didn't get created/parented right
