one of the reasons to iconify is to clear up screen space. Icons are ignored by the wm (regardless of wm). Which made me think, if a shaded window is meant to be an icon, why not treat it more like one. With a simple one line change I can make newly placed windows ignore any shaded windows open. I know this would let me use shaded windows more. So, comments?
