You ... Windows user, you! :)
Gtk probably has some way to mark windows as belonging together, and
thus iconifying together.  Haven't looked into that yet.

AIUI, an X client tells the WM what windows belong in a "Window Group". 
It's up to the WM what it does with that information.  A good WM would
iconify them as a set.  

This interaction is described in the Inter-Client Communications
Conventions, the spec that governs window managers.  See:
