Hello AWT team,

please review fix

for
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8012224

X FAQ[1] says:

Subject: 141)  How do I deiconify a window?

To de-iconify a window, map it with XMapWindow().  To iconify a window, use
XIconifyWindow().

Unfortunately it does not work with compiz/Unity, I've found several 
reported issues [2] [3] [4] with similar synopsis.

EMWH provide another way to deiconify window: send a 
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW[5] client message.

Actually, there is no need to call XMapRaised(If _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is 
supported), but I left it as it is, since it doesn't hurt.
