Re: minimize emacs

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Jason,

I think this means that we have to trap a window manager 
message/hint/whatever that tells us that an application is requesting to 
be minimized.  It is up to our internal window manager to then perform 
the minimization and report that to the app that the minimization has 
been performed.

Can anyone find some information about how this is implemented?  It 
sounds fairly simple, so a quick example from somewhere could probably 
help me get it done quickly.
