believe all windows should be returned, no matter if the application
is visible or not. It's not because something is not visible onscreen
that it's not a relevant information. Especially for blind people....
(remember for what the Accessibility API has been created..)
Yes, remember the purpose of the Accessibility APIs...
When an app is hidden, users cannot access their windows - which argues
for the Accessibility API not to allow access to them either.
I can understand why it would be convenient to access the hidden
windows. But I don't buy the argument that it's necessary.
