The problem is that if there are no screens mapped, (next-screen) will
return nil, which when passed to (iconify-screen) will assume you mean
the current screen. Calling (iconify-screen) on an iconified screen
will un-iconify the screen. I would recommend using (screen-list), and
iterating through that, e.g.

(mapcar 'iconify-screen (screen-list))
