Hi all:

  I know this is a FAQ, but I lost the information on it.

  I would like to set up the *select-screen-hook* and the motion property
so that whenever an epoch edit screen is selected by either the creation of
a screen, or the mouse moving into a edit screen that the minibuffer screen
is automatically mapped if it is iconified, and also raised.

  I tried the following, but it appears to have made all the epoch edit
screens, and the minibuffer screen un-iconifiable.

(push
  (function (lambda () (mapraised-screen (minibuf-screen))))
  *select-screen-hook*
)

  This does not seem to be doing the right thing for me.  I need something
to fulfill the algorithm below:

  A screen is selected
   Is minibuffer screen iconified?
     YES:  Map-raised minibuf-screen
      NO:  raise-screen minibuf-screen

  I still want to be able to iconify any screen including the minibuffer at
will, and have the minibuffer come back when I select an edit screen.

This is a followup to the question I just posted.

  After more fiddling with GWM and the epoch I found that the "icon-groups"
package was blowing up on me when I tried to set up the minibuffer to
autoraise.  It was also taking GWM with it so I quit using it.  (I wasn't
even using it at all and just took it out of my .profile.gwm)

  I also had to set the -motion flag on the command line for epoch or add
the (motion t) form to the epoch::screen-properties list.  Now whenever I
create a screen or move the mouse into an existing screen the minibuffer is
mapped if it is iconfied, and is also raised.
