Should shaded windows be iconic?
I don't know. Apparently nobody does. (google found me discussions but no conclusion)

OpenBox, Metacity and Compiz set shaded Windows iconic, Sawfish and IceWM don't.

Either way kwin presently sets shaded windows iconic when you map them (client.cpp, void Client::map(allowed_t)) so to remain consistent with ourselves and half of the other WMs i set it.
Otherwise it should not be set when unshading a window
(no justification but noteworthy: the bug reporter seems to intend to pause expensive painting when the window is iconic and in that regard it's oc better to have it for shaded windows)
