Well, I looked at the ICCCM again... The above is wrong: the wm must
unmap the actual client window on iconify. The reason is that the
client may monitor UnmapNotify events on its window to detect
iconification.
Also, windows in the save set get mapped automatically if they were
unmapped by the wm and the wm then exits. This is true even for
windows that are not currently reparented by the wm. It follows that
iconified windows must be kept in the save set whereas withdrawn
windows must not.

So this change to remove_window_frame in src/windows.c was wrong and
needs to be reverted. Other than that, my changes should not have
affected iconification.
