It simply does not request to be iconig. If I change this line
wmhints.initial_state = WithdrawnState;
to this, all works well:
wmhints.initial_state = IconicState;
Furthermore the applications uses the USSize hint without user
request which is absolutely forbidden. I think I'll send a patch
to the author.
