Epoch doesn't notice I've iconified a screen

When I use a window manager key binding to iconify an Epoch screen, Epoch
doesn't seem to notice that this has happened.  As a consequence, the focus
(current buffer) stays with the buffer whose screen I just iconified, rather
than switching to the one which is now beneath the mouse.  I have to use
switch-screen (C-z o) to manually recapture the focus (or, I can move the
mouse out of the window and back in).

If I use C-z i to iconify the screen, Epoch behaves correctly.  However, my
fingers are already trained to use the Motif window manager key binding which
I've become used to.

Is there a hook or something which I can use to switch the current screen to
the one under the mouse after an iconify event?  Any suggestions would be a
big help!  Thanks.

(I'm using Epoch 4.1 with the Motif Window Manager (actually, the HP VUE
window manager, which is a superset of mwm.))
