I use uwm as a manager, and this works for me:

      v--------------------------------------v
xterm -iconic -xrm 'XTerm*iconGeometry:-50+30' -geometry +50+60 -fn -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso8859-1 +ut -n sybil -e sybil&


The hi-lighted section pops up a xterm window (On our computer
"Sybil") as an icon 50 pixels left of the right side, and 30 pixels
below the top.

While on the subject of Icons, does anyone know how to substitute an
arbitrary bitmap for the dull icons that uwm defaults to?
