unmapped windows =>
xdotool search stupid_window windowmap
mapped not viewable =>
xdotool search stupid_window windowmove 0 0
I keep a stack of unmapped windows (especially for surf, which i open unmapped),
managed via the script below.

#!/bin/bash
dir="${HOME}/.wm-banished"
[[ ! -d $dir ]] && mkdir -p $dir
[[ "$1" = "push" ]] && {
# no window manager = we don't know what's focus'd, use getmouselocation or
selectwindow
w_id=$(xdotool selectwindow )
xdotool windowunmap $w_id
touch "${dir}/${w_id}"
exit
}
w_id=$( ls -tr $dir | tail -1)
[[ "$w_id" = "" ]] && {
echo -e "\n Bad news... \n no souls remain banished \n" | xmessage
-file -
exit
}
xdotool windowmap $w_id
rm -f "${dir}/${w_id}"
