bug#49489: 28.0.50; C-z hangs emacs in i3wm

[Ergus via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

Hi:

Recently I found that when I send C-z by accident to a gui emacs in i3wm
it hangs until I select another window and select it back again.

i3wm does not support minimize windows, most of the applications just
ignore when the user tries to minimize; but don't hang. (Something that
does not happen very often either because most of the users disable the
window borders)

Is it possible to detect when the window manager does not support
minimize or that the frame was not really minimized?

Just to confirm that it's indeed the iconification that makes Emacs
hang, can you try

M-: (iconify-frame) RET

?

I think the window manager can announce whether it supports
iconification or not, but I'm not very familiar with that stuff myself.
Anybody else know?

Confirmed! Just tried and this makes it hang.
