Yea, that might be the reason. dwm assumes that any window which
performs a MapRequest is ready being mapped (which is ICCCM
compliant) - however, there might be windows which request being
mapped, but which aren't viewable, - that's somewhat odd and I'd
recommend Wolfram Research to use pixmaps instead of such
windows, or windows which are created on demand instead...
