The names you put in the MinimalDecor resource aren't always the same as the
name of the program.  The names for this resource must be the same as the
strings the program gives in its WM_CLASS property.  Also, the names are
case-sensitive, so if the case doesn't match, the specification will be
ignored.

To find out what class xloadimage uses, I ran xloadimage and then
I used xprop to look at the properties on xloadimage's window:

	WM_CLASS(STRING) = "", "Xloadimage"

So you should put "Xloadimage" into the MinimalDecor resource.

I'm not sure what you mean by looking "like a picture frame without the title
bar."  If you set the MinimalDecor resource this way, olwm gets rid of
the title bar, but there is still a thin border all the way around the
edge of the window.  This may or may not be what you want.
