This is what the XIconifyWindow call (made in X11DRV_set_iconic_state in 
dlls/x11drv/window.c, called by WINPOS_MinMaximise,  called by the 
SW_MINIMIZE and SW_SHOWMINIMIZED cases in X11DRV_ShowWindow) is documented as 
doing - in fact based on the description of XIconifyWindow (without checking 
its source code), it seems your X11DRV_WMMinimizeWindow is just a 
reimplementation of that.

This deals with the first case (calling ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED) on 
a mouse event), but not the second (making the same call immediately after 
CreateWindow() without WS_VISIBLE).

Your hack thus gives the same results as mine (mine just stopped 
X11DRV_ShowWindow from doing extra stuff after XIconifyWindow).
