Does any window manager / desktop environment support starting [an]

"kstart --iconify $FOO" in KDE starts $FOO minimized. However, doing
this with ooffice pops up the standard OOO splash screen for a second or
2. This window doesn't steal focus AFAICT.

I found that it does not work for Firefox and it works for xchat only if
the Network list window is not displayed as second window.
