Historically, only D_HIDDEN was available, so it was at one time the only
way to disable a control;  D_DISABLED wasn't added until version 2.2.  This
explains why the controls behave the way they do.

Now that I've listened to what you say, I agree that this is odd and perhaps
broken, but how can it be fixed in the cleanest possible way without
breaking backward compatibility?  For myself, I am going to start setting
objects in my code to both D_HIDDEN and D_DISABLED, so it is clear that is
my intent....
