The resource you need is iconPlacement.  This takes two space separated
values chosen from top, bottom, left, right.  The first value specifies
the direction so top will make the icons go top to bottom.  The second
specifies the location of the first icon so right will place the icon
at top right moving toward the bottom.

You will also need to make sure that the resource iconAutoPlace is true,
otherwise the icon will simply stay where you minimized the window.

I would also recommend getting a copy of July 1991 Unix World Magazine.
There is an excellent article in there about customizing the Motif Window
Manager that would answer most of your questions.
