As one might imagine, that was the first thing I tried. Every win32
window I attempt to resize will only grow as large as the display.
(E.g., move a Squeak window which is already the size of the screen so
that it straddles multiple virtual desktops, then try to increase its
size. It doesn't work.)

Nope (not with "JSPager", anyway).

I don't have time at the moment. I was hoping I could just give some
magic parameters to CreateWindowEx().

Indeed; I plan to do this eventually.
