No, I haven't tried this, but it shouldn't be any more difficult than
drawing into any other window since an icon window (as far as the server
is concerned) is just another window.

Hmm... although I can see why this restriction might be included in
the ICCCM, have you tried creating a child of that window with a
different visual/colormap suitable for PEX rendering?

I'm not sure since I've not written any window managers; even the
ICCCM is fuzzy to me in most places.
