There are at least two solutions to this that require no hacking:

1) use twm and tell it what you want your icon for xterm to be
2) When you start xterm, give it an "-xrm *iconPixmap: /some/filename"
   option.

These work with xterm and twm under X.V11R3.  I can't say what happens
with other window mgrs.
