+       We use a dirty hack here to disable all application windows (which we
+       must do because otherwise the calls to wxYield() could lead to some very
+       unexpected reentrancies in the users code) but to avoid losing
+       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.
