Fyodor,
I ran a little test where I had an infinite loop that updated a counter
and then called Dialog.Update(dialog.count). I then minimized the
window and then opened it again. The image that appeared was frozen.
It was the same as that when I did the minimize action. The counter was
not being incremented. Hence something is definitely not being restored
correctly within the BlackBox environment.

I also earlier run a Services.Action test which did work correctly on
minimization and restoration of the window *BUT* the program was
'chunked' so that it continued when Services.Dolater(action,
Services.now)was called.
