OK, it looks like it was cockpit error on my part.  I get the same
behavior you described on all of the windows that have an EDA_DRAW_PANEL
so that's good.  The two finger scrolling on my win7 pro work laptop
leaves something to be desired but it does appear to work.  I could just
be my ignorance of using the two finger scrolling or maybe I need to
tweak my touchpad settings.  If no one else objects, I'll commit this
patch in the next day or so.
