Windows Installer dialog minimize button

Question

I am developing a windows installer using WiX 3.0.

The installer dialog, while installing, if minimized and then again maximized, gets stuck in the top left corner of the screen with very little user interface visible from and no buttons/controls are visible.

Is there any way to disable the minimize button from the installer dialog or is there any way that the click event on the minimize button can be captured and handled?

This is a Windows 7 bug, was reported a couple of years ago on the WiX mailing list and comes up repeatedly as new developers find the same bug :)
