To Iconify a window from an application you need to tell the window manager
that something has happened, or you can think of the window manager hints as
only taking effect when the window is mapped.  In either case the solution
to you problem is to unmap and remap the window.  It will be remapped iconic.

This seems to be a bit of a brute force method, but it works, any better ideas
out there?

BTW:  There is a bug in uwm, and awm that doesn't allow the icon to be moved
      via the wm hints, once it has been created (read placed).  Take note
      all aspiring window manager authors.
