Undecorated frames cannot be programmatically iconified _before_
being shown. The code that follows shows that although the
frame is first iconified then shown, it gets shown in normal
  state. Notice that everything works fine if the frame is
decorated.
The workaround is to first show the undecorated frame, then
programmatically iconify it.

import javax.swing.*;

public class Undec extends JFrame
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
  new Undec();
 }

 public Undec()
 {
  setBounds(100, 100, 400, 250);
  setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
  setUndecorated(true);
  setState(ICONIFIED);
  show();
 }
}
