Okay, it took me quite some hours to figure this out: It's *not*
a problem with fvwm. Although you can't see it, the application
window *is* mapped. It's just that tk thinks it is not visible
and thus does not draw anything into it. I couldn't find
anything that fvwm is doing wrong. Actually, I couldn't even
find any difference in the requests that wish sends to fvwm -
regardless if the deiconify line is in the code or not. I think
there must be a bug in wish.
