Is there a way for the application to check if the top level window
is iconified or not. I tried to use XGetWMHints to get the
window manager hints and check if the field initial_state
is set to "IconicState". But that did not work. That field was
never changed by the window manager. 

I am using X11/R3, the Athena Toolkit, Sun 4/260 under OS4.0 and twm.

Thanks
