Hello -
   I need to find out how to give an X program the ability to iconify itself.
Specifically, the program has an 'iconify' button; when you click it, the
thing should iconify.  I assume I have to talk to my window manager in some
way, but I haven't been able to find out what to do.  The only window-mgr
related thing I do currently is XSetStandardProperties() on my toplevel
window once when I start up.  Also, I'm using Xlib only, no toolkit, if
that makes a difference.
Any hints ?

Thanks in advance,
   Johannes
