No limits, please. The manager should use the handle of each window as
the handle the app will use when setting/resetting a palette. When a
window is topped/untopped, the app should pass the window handle and a
flag for whether the window was topped or untopped. This way, the system
could manage a seperate palette for each WINDOW.
