Now I know why it behaves this way.  In events.c, map_request(), add_window()
is called first.  That will aplly the matchers, but _then_ the check is made
is initial_state == IconicState and if this is true the window is iconified.

The right fix would seem to be to use the raw X ID and XIconifyWindow()
instead of rep's Qiconify_window, and do it _before_ the add_window()
call.
