Twm is not the only window manager that doesn't do this.  You'll
have to have your dialogs track iconfication notices on their
parent and unmap themselves.  I have (C++) code that does this
if anyone wants an example.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.

When using twm as window manager, if I iconify my application shell, 
the transient windows do not unmap (they do unmap under mwm).  Is there a 
twm resource I can set to force this?
