===================================================================
[1.4] Simulate minimize/maximize association.
NOT USED by frigcal: supplemental example only.
Minimize/restore on main window is propagated to popup window.
See frigcal.py's onMonthHide/onMonthUnhide for full details.
PP4E here means Programming Python 4th Ed (source of some code).

[1.6] This doesn't work on Linux, as <Map>/<Unmap> don't fire!
Even if they did, need to withdraw(), not iconify(), on Linux.
