... If we want that, we have to decide how to synchronize the handling of a confirmation message with the rest of system messages arriving around that time. For this purpose, we have to determine what can be safely processed and what must be processed to ensure liveness while waiting for the confirmation. (I suppose that's what Jason's "inter-thread synchronization" amounts to, though I don't understand the term "thread" in the present context - sorry. But maybe that's what ATTACH_THREADS was about.)
Note that the suggested patch handles all that perfectly well. Doing anything in addition like what you mention above is unnecessary, in fact likely contra-productive. Instead I'd suggest to look into the X and GTK part of this issue (frame-positioning/resizing that is) now. On that platforms it is still broken in several aspects and considerations are spent much more usefully there. Then after having fixed X and GTK you can still come back to Windows and try to do better than the suggested 3-line patch. Maybe you can, who knows.
