I see. Thank you, Timo.

What I was worried was that they are called before the window is 'set
up'. I don't know how to put it exactly, but the doc on 
before-add-window-hook says:
# This occurs before the window is created, installed or placed.  At
# this early stage, the only safe action is to set properties of the
# window (with `window-set').

So I think it is better to call attention, adding a line or two in the
doc of iconify-window-hook and window-state-change-hook.
