This is not really a window manager issue...

The client program should provide a way to set its icon's bitmap image.
I'm not sure about xterm, but I believe it lacks this kind of command line
argument.  When I type in "xterm -help" I do not see anything like icon image.

In the case of XView programs, they all understand some standard
command line arguments.  (to see a list type "cmdtool -help")

So, do XView programs take an X bitmap as a command line argument for an
icon?  Not currently.  The support for X bitmap images is there.  However,
the frame code which parses the common command line arguments assumes the
incoming file is in SunView icon format.

One possible solution is to look for some majik cookie to tell an X bitmap
file from a SunView icon file and then just do the right thing.  Another
possible solution is to add a command line argument to tell the frame
code that this is an X bitmap instead of a SunView icon.
