We are running X-11 R3.  "xterm" has a # option that will set the icon
geometry.  The only place I found information on it was in "xterm -help".
An example is:

xterm -g 80x24+0+0 -C -iconic -name "CONSOLE" -xb $HOME/.tinysun.xbm \#+894+62

The backslash in front of the # sign is so that csh doesn't take the
rest of the line as a comment.

As for having bitmaps as icons a news article by Suresh Krishnamurthy
shows how to patch xterm to allow this.  I have applied the patches to a
copy of xterm here and they seem to work really well.  Here is the article:

I have modified (X11) xterm to display bitmap for icons.  You
have to change only main.c file.  

The syntax is similar to X10 xterm, except that
instead of "-ib", I have used "-xb" (xterm bitmap).

"xterm -iconic -xb bitmap_filename"  would invoke xterm as an icon
using specified file as icon bitmap.  Note that bitmap_filename should
include the path also.

Good bye labels, hello bitmap icons.
