How can you check if a window is minimized via the terminal in linux?

A: 
xwininfo -name 'Window Title' | grep 'Map State:'

Look for IsViewable versus IsUnMapped; these come from the map_state field returned by XGetWindowAttributes.

(At least, that works with traditional window managers; I don't know if Compiz does screwy stuff to allow for thumbnailing minimized windows.)
