 * The listener interface for receiving window state events.

 * (overriding only the methods of interest).

 * The listener object created from that class is then registered with
 * a window using the <code>Window</code>'s
 * <code>addWindowStateListener</code> method.  When the window's
 * state changes by virtue of being iconified, maximized etc., the
 * <code>windowStateChanged</code> method in the listener object is
 * invoked, and the <code>WindowEvent</code> is passed to it.
