I hit a hang in inspect.exe (the platform SDK tool for enumerating a11y objects) and it turns out that inspect was blocked on a SendMessage to nsAppShell:EventWindow.

Upon looking at this code, it is clear to me that we should create this window as a message-only window (since that's what it is) - i.e. during creation we set its parent to be HWND_MESSAGE
(see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632599(v=vs.85).aspx#message_only)

Otherwise it is visible to a bunch of tools that think it is a normal window, when in fact it is not.
