Note that xview applications have a resource and a command line flag
that allows you to specify where to put that application's icon. The
command line flag is -WP, and the resources are Icon.X and Icon.Y.
This is documented in the xview man page, and an example can usually be
found in your .openwin-init file if you have done a "save workspace."
Please note that I have never used the resources, only the command
line flag.
