That line has been commented out since it was added in 1997, the 
SW_SHOWNORMAL version has always been there. Perhaps the maintainer at 
the time was experimenting with improving the behavior, but some other 
bug was interfering, so he left the line in a comment to come back to later.

I've swapped the lines over now, if problems start to surface regarding 
iconifying and restoring frames, at least we can add a comment that 
explains why that line is commented out.
