I am pretty sure that the WINDOW_ICONIFY event is a notification event. 
You can trap it to find out when your window is iconified, but cannot use
it to iconify the window.

And, I have searched the docs, and have found no way of iconifying a
window.  The only way I know of that would work would be to write some
native code to iconify the window.  It would be nice if Sun should add this
capability.
