Unmapping iconified windows in X-windows

Unmapping iconified windows in X-windows

[Stephen Davies]

The problem:

I'm using Xlib to map and unmap windows, but if the window has
been iconified, a call to unmap has no affect. My current workaround
is to map the window before unmapping it, but I'm sure there must be
a better way.

The setup:

DEC Ada 3.0 on VAX/VMS and Alpha/VMS
Motif (can't remember the version)

The apology:

I know this would be better directed to an X-windows newsgroup,
but I thought I'd start with a newsgroup I actually read. Sorry.

This reminds me of the story of the guy who lost his keys in an alley,
but looked for them under a streetlamp because "the light is better over
here". :-)
