Incompatibility with Console windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Console2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The cmd.exe window is not hidden, but tiled
- The Console window is not tiled, but floating

Please provide any additional information below.

Console2 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ ) is the equivalent of a 
terminal emulator for Windows: a decent graphical interface for the command 
prompt.

Console2 works by hiding the standard cmd.exe console and redirecting input and 
output to a resizable, configurable and tabbed window.

I'm definitely going to look into it, I've never heard of it so thanks! Finally 
a decent prompt in windows! Some programs tile funny, I'm not entirely sure why 
because I don't fully understand the entire win32 window system yet.

I can't seem to find the problem, although I've made some changes to the 
resizing of windows a while ago which are only in repo yet, could you try 
fetching the current code? It might be fixed, I can't see any problems atm. but 
as I was searching for possible problems I found a better way of resizing 
windows, although way harder I'll see what I can do.

I cloned the current code, and Console seems to work fine.

It is also tiled correctly, something that does not happen with cmd.exe (which 
behaves strangely anyway, so I wouldn't try fixing that —unless Console code 
itself hides some nice way to do it).

CMD.exe has tiling issues that I can't seem to fix, it's all due to the removal 
of the decorations, config.ini has the possibilities to force a decoration on 
at all times. This will fix the problem.
