I think this is a bug with FvwmIconMan rather than with CleverPlacement
(SmartPlacementIsReallySmart). There are some flags which must be set on
windows so that their state is known. i.e. are they visible, iconified,
unmapped, etc. CleverPlacement must know if a window is iconified or
unmapped so it knows how to handle it. I believe that FvwmIconMan is
setting the ICONIFIED and/or ICON_UNMAPPED flags wrong, so
CleverPlacement believes that the window isn't actually there.
I may be wrong, but perhaps the maintainer of FvwmIconMan can take a look
at this?
