GetScreenPosition and iconize

[Jorgen Bodde]

Well I would still expect GetSize() to return a valid size. If a
window is hidden or iconized, it still has that size when restored, so
GetSize should always report this. And indeed we have IsIconized() to
discriminate between the two states. I would say returning other
values based upon a window state is confusing.
