Ok, the problem may be that you are doing it on the render window and not the 
interactor window.  Somewhere, you must be creating your interactor 
(vtkXRenderWindowInteractor) and that's what you need to be iconifying and 
mapping.  

Mine is called _iren and I have a 

vtkXRenderWindowInteractor *_iren = vtkXRenderWindowInteractor::New ();
Widget w = _iren->GetWidget ();
XIconifyWindow (XtDisplay (w), XtWindow (w), 0);

Hope this helps!
