No, I don't think so. In X, events are generated for *windows*,
not for Xt widgets. If an event is selected for the shell widget,
it is only selected for the widget's window, not its icon window,
so sending a MapNotify might confuse the application or even crash
it. I've reread the specifications again and I can find no
indication that the client should get any event when a window is
started iconic. *If* an event is sent, then it should be an
UnmapNotify, not a MapNotify. I have written a patch for this,
but I am not sure this will work with all applications. Anyway,
your program should not rely on a MapNotify or UnmapNotify event.
Bye
