The project I am working on needs to create a simulation of an existing air traffic control radar system and I need the simulation to behave exactly like the real thing. Wouldn't want the controllers developing bad habits now ;-)

I found the problem I think. I need to give the icon hints AFTER the window has been iconified for it to work. Now I have tons of other problems because when the parent window is iconified the WM forgets where all the child windows were iconified and lines them all up on the side. To boot I think the WM is sending me bad data so that I can't squirrel away the location and reset it after.
