As Keith said, the WM does not need to unmap minimized windows (the ICCCM certainly give it the option of keeping them mapped and hide them in some other way; we do this in the metacity-clutter port). However, the ICCCM also specifies that to request transition from iconified to normal state the application should map the window. If the WM keeps the iconified windows mapped, this does not work, as the XMapWindow() becomes a nop. I would be interested to know how, for example, Metisse deals with this issue.
