Try *not* using WS_CHILD:

-- CHILD WINDOW, attached to Main ("parent")
constant aChildWindow =
    create( Window, "Child Window", MainWindow, 50, 80, 400, 200,
            or_all({ WS_DLGFRAME, WS_SYSMENU }))

If you want a nonsizeable window that you can minimize, try:
or_all( { WS_DLGFRAME, WS_SYSMENU, WS_MINIMIZEBOX } ) )

The fact that you are specifying "MainWindow" as the parent kinda
makes 'aChildWindow' it's child.  WS_CHILD is just a window style...
