       focus/activation entirely when the child process terminates which would
       happen if we simply disabled everything using wxWindowDisabler. Indeed,
       remember that Windows will never activate a disabled window and when the
       last childs window is closed and Windows looks for a window to activate
       all our windows are still disabled. There is no way to enable them in
       time because we don't know when the childs windows are going to be
       closed, so the solution we use here is to keep one special tiny frame
       enabled all the time. Then when the child terminates it will get
       activated and when we close it below -- after reenabling all the other
       windows! -- the previously active window becomes activated again and
       everything is ok.
