A brief look in the code suggests that this should work, but I'm probably
wrong. I have never tried to process button-events on a iconified window.

IMHO it's not logical to interact with the contents of an iconified window.
It's a representation of the actual contents, not a mini-window intended for
interaction. Un-iconify the window if you need to interact with it's
contents.

It also suggests that I'm wrong when I assume that it should work under
XaAES ;-) So I tried it, and I couldn't get any mouse events on iconified
windows either.
