Emacs de-iconify doesn't work as in other WMs

Hi,

Emacs, with this configuration[1] displays the *Completions* buffer
(e.g. list of all in current directory when opening a file) in a
dedicated window ("frame" in Emacs' terminology).  After choosing a
file with the mouse, the window is iconified.  The next time the
*Completions* buffer is needed, the window should be de-iconified
automatically.  This works fine for other window managers (I have
tried: twm, fvwm1 and blackbox), but not for fluxbox[2].

An interactive and a non-interactive recipe to reproduce the problem
follows:

Interactive recipe:

- Save the content[1] in a file /tmp/de-icon.el

- Start Emacs loading this file:
  $ emacs -q -no-site-file -l /tmp/de-icon.el

- Open a file (use TAB expansion to show all possibilities):
  Ctrl-x Ctrl-f TAB TAB

  A new window titled "*Completions*" pops up.

- Pick a file (say ~/.profile) with the mouse (middle mouse button).
  The *Completions* window is iconified now.  The filename now is in
  the "mini buffer" (bottom line in the Emacs window).  Hit RET to
  confirm opening the file.

- Try to open another file:
  Ctrl-x Ctrl-f TAB TAB

  After the last TAB, the *Completions* window should be raised, but
  with fluxbox nothing happens.

Here is the non-interactive recipe to demonstrate the bug.  Save this
to /tmp/de-icon-2.el and start emacs like this:

$ emacs -q -no-site-file -l /tmp/de-icon-2.el

(switch-to-buffer "*Messages*")
(setq sit 3)
(defun sleep (seconds)
  (sit-for seconds)
  (sleep-for seconds))
(sleep sit)
(message "Creating frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG...")
(setq f (make-frame '((name . "FLUXBOX-DEBUG") (height . 10))))
(message "Creating frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG...done")
(sleep sit)
(message "Iconifying frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG...")
(iconify-frame f)
(message "Iconifying frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG...done")
(sleep sit)
(message "Trying to make frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG visible...")
(make-frame-visible f)
(message "Trying to make frame FLUXBOX-DEBUG visible...done")
(sleep sit)
(message "If FLUXBOX-DEBUG frame is not visible (still iconified), there's a bug.")

With blackbox (and other WMs), the FLUXBOX-DEBUG is raise, but not
with fluxbox.

Bye, Reiner.
