Have you looked at XIconifyWindow and XMapWindow? As long as the form you want
to control is a base window you should be able to (un)iconify, but you have to
trick forms into giving you display, Window, and screen_number to do it (I have
gotten the info from forms before but it was a long time ago and the source is
not assessable at the moment).
