(POV-Ray 3.5 beta 11 on Windows 98)

Yesterday I must have closed POV-Ray when it was minimized, and today when I
started it up, I could not restore it. When I left-clicked on the taskbar
button, the button depressed but nothing happened. When I right-clicked on
the taskbar button, I didn't get a context menu. I tried to close it with
Ctrl+Alt+Del, and it said "This program is not responding". I closed it
anyway, and started it up again. The same thing happened.

Then I remembered the strange things that used to happen with modal dialog
boxes being displayed when the window was minimized. I started POV-Ray
again, clicked on the taskbar button, and pressed Enter to try to close
whatever dialog box was displayed. It worked, and I was then able to restore
the window.

I have a feeling the problem this time is the new about box, which I've
occasionally seen displayed on startup in the recent betas. If POV-Ray
starts up minimized (which I still think it should never do, but anyway), it
needs to make sure that no modal dialog boxes are displayed.
