As far as I can tell this is a bug in Delphi, and unfortunately I can't find
a workaround yet.  Some have suggested on the Borland newsgroups that the
issue is with the "center" options for the form's Position property, but
we're not using any of those and the behavior is the same for all of the
Position property values.

How about calling "LoadLayoutSettings" on FormShow event ?

I tried it in FormActivate, now trying it in FormShow.....nope, same
problem.  It's definitely something very insidious.

Found it!

procedure TMainForm.LoadLayoutSettings;
var
   TempIniFile: TMemIniFile;
   TempViewState: Integer;
begin
   TempIniFile:=TMemIniFile.Create(GetIniFileName);
   try
      with TempIniFile do
         begin
         ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWDEFAULT); //ADD THIS LINE! =)
         WindowState:=TWindowState(ReadInteger(LAYOUT_SECTION,'Window
State',Ord(wsNormal)));
         if (WindowState <> wsMaximized) then

Thanks very much.  Unfortunately there are still some bad side-effects
because the Window is initially shown smaller (flicker and resizing issues).
I'll keep working on it, though.
