Win32 allows you to iconify a window by calling ShowWindow with
SW_MINIMIZE as the "nCmdShow" argument, and X11 allows you to do it by
using the message referred to above.

Is this a sufficiently useful function that it should be in GDK?  If so,
are there any window systems supported by GTK+ that *don't* support it
and, if so, should the call just do nothing on those window systems?
