There could be a pointer to an image structure used like gadget select render.
When the window is iconified intuition would use that image to render the 
window.  Ofcourse, you could just leave it up to the programmer.  Send a 
message to the program (like close window) that says: "Iconify Window".
The the user puts up an image on the screen.  Hmmm.  That don't sound too 
easy afterall.  They still have to add the "FullScreen Window" message and
gadget like the Mac has (boy keeping up with the Jones').
