I hope this is the right place to pose this question...
I'm working with the folks implementing/porting XFree86 to Windows via
Cygwin. They've implemented a means of using Windows as the "window
manager," but Emacs doesn't minimize properly with a C-z. Apparently
the maintainer is not catching a window manager hint or something. Can
someone point me in the right direction as to how he/we might catch that
C-z and have <Windows-as-WM> minimize the Emacs window.
Thanks!

Check the function `x_iconify_frame' in xterm.c in the Emacs sources to
see what it does. Basically, what it boils down to is Emacs running
`XIconifyWindow' which sends a `ClientMessage' with `IconicState' to X.
See if the windowmanager listens to the `WM_CHANGE_STATE' hint properly.
