I use

	xterm -xrm "XTerm*iconPixmap: $HOME/lib/bitmaps/letters"

under olwm, and it works OK.  In my .Xdefaults file, I have an entry of
the form

	XTerm*iconPixmap: /usr/parkway/smarks/lib/bitmaps/xterm

and it works, too.

In general, you can't use XView-style command line options and resources
with non-XView programs.  Xterm is an Xt-based application, and it uses
Xt-style command line options and resources.  Other Xt clients, xclock for
instance, also respond to the iconPixmap resource.
