[comp.windows.x] WM Hints problem with Open Windows

I have had trouble getting an application built for X11R3 and R4
using Xlib directly to run properly under open windows.  The
problem is that certain application communication with the window
manager does not seem to be getting through, and I have traced it
to things that are set with calls to XSetWMHints.  It appears that
SetWMHints is not doing anything under openwin.  After a lot of
staring at protocol traces for Xterm, I determined that at least
one of the non-working functions (iconifying the window) could be
accomplished by directly setting a property value.  I haven't
figured out how to do all of the things that don't work.  The
documentation that comes with open windows and the include files
suggest that SetWMHints should work as with other X
implementations.  Has anyone else run into this?  Any suggestions?
