When using FxCop 1.36 for a WPF application with a single window that has yet to be modified, I get the InterfaceMethodsShouldBeCallableByChildTypes error with the following details:
Target : #System.Windows.Markup.IComponentConnector.Connect(System.Int32,System.Object) (IntrospectionTargetMember)
Resolution : "Make 'MainWindow' sealed (a breaking change if
this class has previously shipped), implement the method
non-explicitly, or implement a new method that exposes
the functionality of 'IComponentConnector.Connect(int,
object)' and is visible to derived classes."

Info : "Explicit method implementations are defined with private
accessibility. Classes that derive from classes with
explicit method implementations and choose to re-declare
them on the class will not be able to call into the
base class implementation unless the base class has
provided an alternate method with appropriate accessibility.
When overriding a base class method that has been hidden
by explicit interface implementation, in order to call
into the base class implementation, a derived class
must cast the base pointer to the relevant interface.
When calling through this reference, however, the
derived class implementation will actually be invoked,
resulting in recursion and an eventual stack overflow."

Should this simply be ignored?
