You can tell if a Window is mapped (which it will be if it is
uniconified, of course) with the following:
XWindowAttributes attributes;
XGetWindowAttributes( fl_get_display(),
FL_ObjWin( obj ),
&attributes );
if ( attributes.form->map_state == IsViewable )
do_viewable_stuff();
else
do_iconified_stuff();
There's no specific test in X to determine if a Window is iconified,
since this is under the control of the window manager. There is an
XIconifyWindow() function call you can make to request a window be
iconified.
This appears to be one of those things in X, like Colormap, background
Pixmap, and Cursor of a Window, that you can set but not query (I've
never understood *why* this is the case since the darned X server or,
in this case, the window manager *knows* -- I don't see why it can't
be queried).
