Smart Windows is an OS/2 user interface enhancer with both
aesthetical and functional features.

If you're using it you could have the following problems:

-1) Since patch #6.3 the "maximized windows" options work.
    You could have previously checked the option "Override
    default size and position" leaving the size fields to
    a value of "0" (zero). This hadn't any effect with the
    previous versions since the feature hadn't yet been
    implemented, but now, when maximizing a window you'll
    see it disappear from the screen since you are forcing
    maximized windows to a size of 0 x 0 pizel.
    Just disable the option if you do not need it or set 
    the size and position spinbutton to suit your needs.
-2) When disabling Smart Windows, the superlassed window
    procedure is still active and keeps track of some 
    events in case you re-enable it later.
    A future release will offer a better "disabling" 
    function. In the meantime, if you are experiencing 
    problems with some application, add its executable name 
    to the general exceptions list (it is on the 3rd page 
    of the preferences notebook). This way the superclassed 
    window procedures are completely disabled and the 
    application should be able to work correctly.
