lwclient: bug fix: X error when Editor window iconified

The lwclient program as listed here has a problem, at least for me. If the editor window is iconified, under some conditions I get an error box from Lispworks complaining about an X protocol error. And sometimes I get an error message in the terminal I started Lispworks in and I have to just kill it.

I spelunked the fvwm man page a bit and figured out how to uniconify a window from a shell script: FvwmCommand -r 'Next ("Lispworks", "Editor *") Iconify off'. Here's a new lwclient:

#!/usr/bin/zsh
FvwmCommand -r 'Next ("Lispworks", "Editor *") Iconify off'
(
  echo "lwclient$RANDOM"
  echo "(progn "
  for f in "$@" ; do
    if [[ $f = /* ]] ; then
      echo "(editor:find-file-command nil #p\"$f\")"
    else
      echo "(editor:find-file-command nil #p\"$PWD/$f\")"
    fi
  done
  echo ")"
) \
| nc -q 1 localhost 65000 \
> /dev/null
