	The .Xdefaults resource is IconPixmap and it would look 
	something like this:

XClock.IconPixmap:	/u4/home/jc/bitmaps/my-xclock

	Now, a bit of a warning:  OLWM has some SERIOUS bugs when
	using this resource and that is why it is not well known.
	What I have found is that if the bitmap definition is 
	much bigger than the default size of the "tools" icon 
	which is used for most applications, OLWM freezes.  There
	are no bug fixes to this that I am aware of.  This is 
	true for the OLVWM as well.  THIS SHOULD BE FIXED.  

	I had been contacted by a Sun representive who requested
	that I show him the problem but the message was lost.  I
	have several examples of bitmaps which cause OLWM to freeze.
	I will gladly help show the problem and send these files.

PS.  This should have been sent to the comp.windows.open-look 
     group and that is where followups are sent to.
