Yes, i would consider this a window manager bug. It should use a state
that maps more naturally on the Workspace concept. FVWM uses
Invisible+Mapped which is OK (In fact XEmacs is optimized by that
case). Telling the hidden frames they are iconified would also be
fine.
Cool. The next thing to figure out now is why Steve can duplicate the
problem even when allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame is t. There
must be some code path where this variable is ignored.
