Unless it changed recently, it is documented somewhere that round-trip
reverse engineering doesn't work on Windows (but works very nicely on
Linux), because there is nothing like a standard diff and patch.

Personnally, I have a laptop under Windows and a desktop under Linux. I
do all GUI work on Linux for that reason, then copy the resulting files
to Windows.
