To uniconify a window I use this:
gdk_window_show (window->window);
I use this as well, but I'm not sure if its needed:
gdk_window_raise (window->window);
I think iconifying & maximizing is a bit trickier. It's probably
explained in the ICCCM (Inter-Client Communication Convention
Manual (?)) - part of the free X documentation (xbooks).
These do need to be added to GDK, by the way.
(As well as a way of getting a window's real position, including WM
decorations - do you just need to walk up the X window tree with
XQueryTree until you find the root window?)
I think it's also about time GTK's TODO file was updated!
(Delete it and start again!)
