First, if you want to work on a correct window, never use Current with
FvwmEvent (unless you want to always work on the focused window that may
or may not be the window caused the event). Just call the needed command,
it will be executed under the context of the original window, or use
ThisWindow conditional. I.e. one of these:
*FvwmEvent: add_window Iconify
*FvwmEvent: add_window 'ThisWindow (!Transient) Iconify'
*FvwmEvent: destroy_window 'ThisWindow (!Transient) CycleLocally'

Just tried, although you can't iconify (or move for example) a window
being destroyed, you may still access all its properties. (But you may
iconify or move a different window on destroy_window event of course.)
