Dominik,

Thank you for your willingness to help here!

I guess the question is...if WMHINTS->initial_state is set to iconic and
XtSetMappedWhenManaged on a shell is set, when managing the shell it should
get mapped (hence generating the MapNotify event) even though it should be
iconised?

FVWM does not map the shell when managed, is this correct behaviour?

Thank you,
Matt.
