Hello Martin,

I have no idea how Qt is doing on Windows, or what the capabilities are, 
but from my own programming in Linux as well as in Windows (rare) I know 
that some "limitations" to user friendliness do exist in Windows, e. g. 
the Z-order problem.

What I find especially nasty in Windows is that it does not 
automatically refer mouse-wheel movements to the scrolling list the 
mouse is over, but you have to click explicitly into the list before it 
is able to read mouse events. But this is not a problem of a specific 
program but you find it everywhere in Windows.

Storing the size of windows for user habits should be no problem, however.

Just my two cents...

Rolf
