So, basically, my experience thus far is:
- If you want for window to be shown (_any_ non default hud window including such things as ZoneReuse window), you HAVE to issue show_window command. Setting Visible=True has no effect prior to show_window.
- After show_window has been successfully issued, you can manipulate window using Visible=true/false.
- show_window appears to do NOT work when issued from OnShow handler of the standard windows that are automatically-shown (i.e. it doesn't work for Compass window, but it does work for Target window that is not shown immediatelly).
I've ran quite a few tests of all this.. and I'm reasonably sure that it is how it works.. unfortunately.
Of course, it still doesn't preclude me being wrong  If someone has a working code sample to share that would auto-show custom windows on startup -- I'd greatly appreciate that |

Not true, you have to back out far enuff to get a handle on the window you want to be visible by calling its parent node. Yes you can use show_winodw command like you do but you are causing the game to execute the show_window code where if you do Parent.blah.visible=True you bypass that step freeing up clock cycles. All the show_window command does is set visible to true, it works kind of like an API call.
- After show_window has been successfully issued, you can manipulate window using Visible=true/false.
show_window never has to be used to make a window visible

Correct, and thats because when it first proccesses the file its visible property is already set to true. If you go into the file and add visible=False it will fire when its proccessed.
