XToolkit implements `toFront()` essentially by sending the `_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW` message to activate the window. This has no effect when the target window is in the iconified state. So the fix is to cancel that state prior to sending the message.
The test verifies that the fix works for maximized and undecorated frames as well out of abundance of caution; they do not represent a special case from the `toFront()` standpoint.
