Hello
I use a little file for these needs, collected from various
places and variousmessages on this list:


========
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
#include "iconic.h"

/* to iconify an existing window */

void gdk_window_iconize (GdkWindow *window)
{
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  g_return_if_fail (window != NULL);

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;
  if (!Private->destroyed)
    XIconifyWindow (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow,0);
}

/* to create a window in iconic state */

void window_iconify (GdkWindow *window)
{
  XWMHints *xwmh;
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;
  xwmh = XGetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow);
  xwmh->initial_state = IconicState;
  xwmh->flags |= StateHint;
  XSetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow, xwmh);
} 

/* useful with some window managers to get key presses */

gboolean window_wm_input (GdkWindow *window)
{
  XWMHints *xwmh;
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;
  xwmh = XGetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow);

  if (xwmh == NULL) return false ;

  xwmh->input = True;
  xwmh->flags |= InputHint;
  XSetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow, xwmh);

  return true ;
} 

/* to maximise an existing window */

void
window_deiconify (GdkWindow *window)
{
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;
  XMapRaised (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow);
} 

/* to test if ... */

gboolean
window_is_iconified (GdkWindow *window)
{
  XWindowAttributes xattr;
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;

  xattr.map_state = IsUnmapped;
  XGetWindowAttributes(Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow, &xattr);
  return (xattr.map_state == IsUnmapped); 
}

/* to modify the current icon */

gboolean window_affect_icon (GdkWindow *window)
{
  XWMHints *xwmh;
  GdkWindowPrivate *Private;

  Private = (GdkWindowPrivate*) window;
  xwmh = XGetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow);

  if (xwmh == NULL) return false ;

  XSetWMHints (Private->xdisplay, Private->xwindow, xwmh);

  return true ;
}

I do not make any claim on this code...but use it and
be happy.
