    Are there any plans to handle mapping/unmapping and iconization using
    [WM_TRANSIENT_FOR] too?

Yes.  In olwm 2.0, transient windows had no title bar and no resize
corners, but they did have their own icon.  In a future release of olwm,
transient windows:

- will have a title bar and resize corners, but no close button or pin
- will not have their own icon, but will iconify with their owner
- will optionally be kept stacked above their owner window, controllable
  via a resource

Do y'all think this is an improvement?

If a program wants a window to be not resizable, it should set the minimum
and maximum sizes in WM_NORMAL_HINTS to be the same as the current window
size.

    While we're finding out interesting things about olwm, can anyone
    tell me why this code results in a icon with no iconname?

	[... code to set an icon window and an icon name...]

Olwm ignores the WM_ICON_NAME property if the program has provided an icon
window.  This is a bug.
