Showing and Hiding Windows
==========================

   Sawfish provides two low-level functions for withdrawing client
windows from the display. These are used to implement both virtual
workspaces (Note: Workspaces) and iconification (Note: Iconifying
Windows).

 - Function: hide-window window
     Prevent object WINDOW from being displayed.

 - Function: show-window window
     Ensure that WINDOW (if it has been mapped, and is within the
     screen boundary) is visible.

 - Function: window-visible-p window
     Returns `t' if object WINDOW has not been hidden by the
     `hide-window' function.
