I have just applied your patch, and made some other changes required that 
the inertia still works, and your simple PostMessage() technique seems to 
work very well on my machine.

I also added the pangeavr mimetypes to the windows plugin, so it can be used 
to watch pangeavr panos under windows.

I couldn't reproduce that, but given that freepv is code I have written in 
high speed mode ;-), there are probably some bugs left. Can you run it in 
the debugger, and see where it crashes?

Also, I fear I don't have the time to write a complete guide to the 
sourcecode this weekend.
