Just to clarify, from the user's POV Emacs is not iconified. IIRC you
explained that when we switch desktops, the windows in the previously
selected desktop change to the iconified state, but that's an
implementation detail of the window manager. I hope I got this right.

I just checked that if the user iconifies (minimizes) Emacs' window
before he switches desktops, the focus does not change.

Exactly that. Thanks for explaining the problem in clear terms.
