Yes...

I've got an application that does the same thing.  However I make the following
calls:

	XtToolkitInitialize();
	my_app_context=XtCreateApplicationContext();
	XtAppSetFallbackResources(my_app_context,Fallback_Resources);
	my_Display=XtOpenDisplay(...);

	   ... And so on...

	toplevel=XtAppCreateShell(...);

One of the Args of XtAppCreateShell() is the IconPixmap.

This has always worked for me.
