ProcessEvent(uint, int, int, uint, uint)

Indicates whether the event should be ignored by Whim.

Remarks

Firefox has some irregular behavior:

• Firefox will move a window after an interdeterminate timeout on startup [Source]
• Firefox can perform actions 500ms after an event is received - e.g., after WindowMoved[Source]
• Firefox will cloak the window when showing for the first time [Source]

To deal with these issues, we ignore all events until the first Windows.Win32.PInvoke.EVENT_OBJECT_CLOAKED event is received. If Firefox is already visible, we process all events.
