Ahh, finally some progress.
I'm not  sure we are  on  the same  track,  I never noticed  any frame
blinking.   What I see is the  frame filling with the "unhilite color"
during window takedown.
I tried this:
Around line 1900 in builtins.c, I removed this line:
 XUnmapWindow(dpy,w);
Therefore  only unmapping the frame.   I think it automatically unmaps
the window inside.  This seems to fix the frame filling problem during
iconify, but I still  see the frame  fill when I exit  an application.
(For example typing "q" in an xv window.)
Any testing has to be done with the cpu very busy.
It does seem to speed up iconifying also.
