I mostly don't want to have to deal with it at all, mainly because it takes a 
decent amount of work to execute that correctly, for no real gain, since I 
don't think normal users are likely to do this sequence anyway. The complaint 
was from our QA team that naturally tries to doing weird, crazy things to break 
the application. 

And I actually just did some client side decoration recently for this 
application, and there's issues with that, namely that there are issues with 
custom windows on Windows related to the window shadow and a small 6 pixel 
band. See my earlier post from 8/19/2019: 
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2019-August/033636.html, so in 
that instance I was forced to choose between having a window without a shadow 
(which looks weird) or having the small white band above my custom window 
buttons (which also looks weird).

But for me to be able to ignore this, I'm probably going to need to prove 
something along the lines of "this is normal Windows behavior, not a bug in my 
application". But after light testing with other applications, as well as the 
simple application I uploaded here, it appears that this might be a Qt/Windows 
problem, not necessarily "all Windows applications do this".
