This problem existed on R1 as well (I thought the bug and fix got submitted,
but I now find out that it didn't).  I will resubmit it.  However, the
problem is with the window managers not the clients.  uwm is too dumb
to know about icon changes (at least it was in R1, I haven't checked R2).
wm knew about the change and tried to fix things, but forgot to remap the
window, so it just disappears.  I didn't attempt to fix uwm, but did find
the spot where wm forgot to map the window and fixed that.  Now, wm doesn't
seem to work properly with xterm (always creates a very small window on R2).
