I am trying to set the values of the resources of the icon
associated with my application from a resource file.  I can set the
iconName resource with no problem, but setting the iconPixmap resource
yields no results.  Looking at the resource file for the X application 'xcalc',
I see that the value of the iconPixmap gets set as follows:

	XCalc*iconPixmap:		calculator

However, the same trick will not for my application.  I know I can set the
pixmap from within the actual code, and also by using the iconImage
resource in my window manager resource file, but I'd like to know if
there is a way to set the value from a resource file as in the xcalc 
application.  Any help would be appreciated.
