Thanks to those who told me how to know when a window was iconified.

I am trying to get a function that the openlook window manager gives me
for free---one icon for a group of windows when the windows are transient
windows. Unfortunately other window managers decorate transients so they
cannot be resized or moved so I have to use toplevelwindows. Now I am
stuck with a bunch of irrelevant icons.

Notifying when the main window is iconified was the first step and now
my problem is localized to (in pseudocode)

void PWMImpl::iconify_all() { 
	for w = all windows in my application {
                if (w == main window) {
                        w->iconify();  
                }else{
                        what do I do? unmap and unbind destroy too much.
			making main the group leader earlier when the
			windows were first created seems
			to have no effect.
                }
        }
}

void PWMImpl::deiconify_all() {
	for w = all windows in my application {
                if (w == main window) {
                        w->deiconify();
                }else{
                        what do I do?
                }
        }
}
