Isn't this the case where it in Windows originally got the meaning 
"use the desktop window", that later became a compatibility hack where 
"NULL isn't a cool HWND, but due to the many programs using it, we'll 
automatically give the user the DC for the (currently visible) screen" 
(or possibly the desktop associated with the thread)?
