[I thought I posted this workaround that I've been using at least since
- either on a bugreport or in a message to you - but I can't spot it in
my XMAIL]

(defadvice make-frame-visible (around mutter-workaround (&optional frame) 
activate)
  (if (or (eql (frame-parameter frame 'visibility) 'icon)
           (eql (frame-parameter frame 'visibility) nil))
      (set-frame-parameter frame 'visibility nil))
  ad-do-it)
