Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

When the non-client island window is maximized and has the WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW style, SetWindowPos is "lying": the position ends up being offset compared to the one we gave it (found by debugging). So I changed it to use WS_POPUP like the client island window was already doing. But now it has the Vista frame that appears briefly when entering/exiting full screen like the client island window.
