Could be.  Various packages do things differently.  But the
non-package-specific code is the one that interests me.

No.  Either both are deleted or both are iconified, since (again) it is
mostly a choice that depends on the general window-manager usage and
user preference.

I think both are in fairly wide use, so getting rid of one of them is
not really an option.  But I hope we can define one in terms of
the other (or both in terms of a third internal one).
