The reason why this doesn't work is missing support from the window 
manager (windowmaker).

1. GNUstep will send out custom X11 event (root window I believe)
2. wmaker will interpret the signal and hide/show windows as requested
3. wmaker will also need to send signals back to all GNUstep windows 
to inform them what has just happened (careful, there might be a race 
issue here)

This does not work correctly and as it breaks existing focus 
behaviour, I decided to disable it.

Thanks,
