Oops,

That'll teach me to post with a head cold.  This information is incorrect.
First, these are not commands but rather Xlib calls to write commands with.
Second, as de Mouse pointed out, one should use the following Xlib calls in
writing such commands.

1) XConfigureWMWindow

and

2) XIconifyWindow


Sorry for the misinformation.
