iconic crash boom bam

[Chipp Walters]

Tom,

I haven't had any trouble with this method on XP. Haven't tested much 
on Win98.

The reason for the flash is that you can't 'lock screen' across a send 
command. You could do something like save the window rect to a 
property, then move the stack to an offscreen position, then minimize. 
On uniconify, it will open up at the offscreen position, then set the 
loc to the saved position after the decorations are set to emtpy.
