Question is now, is it a problem on Skype's side (according to the
comments, they draw a window and set the withdaw state) or is it some bug
on your side?
That particular diff is related to a fix for gtk-windows disappearing when
using some new GTK praxis.

It's hard to say exactly what Skype does since it's closed source. I'll try
to debug it some to see if I'm able to reproduce the issue using bare
X-calls, and see if those calls are right or not. I still belive that the
above diff is right in accordance with the ICCCM2 specification, but without
knoing what Skype does it's hard to say if it is fvwm or Skype that breaks
the rules.
After som preliminary debuging, it seems as if Skype does a
XWithdrawWindow() call, and then waits for some event to happen before it
maps the window again. I'm not sure what it wat's for, but obviously the
dif you posted prevents that event from being sent, since Skype doesn't
try to remap the window. I'll do some more debugging trying with the aim
to find out which event Skype waits for, and once I know that I should be
able to say if it should be able to expect that event or not based on the
sequence of oprations that has been going on.
