The ICCCM Manual ( Draft 25th Feb 1988 )  stated in section 4.1.3.1
that the window manager places certain properties on a client's
top level window.  One of these is WM_STATE which is modified when
the window mgr changes the window state, eg., after iconfication.

I cannot find any mention of WM_STATE in any of the header files
under R3 or in the source code for uwm. Was it not implemented
by uwm?  Is it used by any of the window managers?  Is there
another way to determine if a window is iconified?  This is needed
by a client other than the one that originally created the window
of interest, so receiving an event won't work...
