I don't think you should care about the window state in a view model, it's completely wrong because a lower-level layer is aware of a higher-level layer (thus wrong Separation of Concerns (SOC)).

What I normally do in this case is subscribe to changes in the view model from the code-behind of the control or window (thus the view) containing the view model. In this case, it is valid to write code in the code-behind because it is only used in the view (and thus the code-behind is the perfect location for this logic, which you really don't want to unit test).
