Sorry, this is a quick trivial one, but annoying and I can't find the fix.

We have just installed Gnu Emacs 18.55 and X11 Release 4 within the last week.
In the process, we've lost the ability to iconify an emacs window to the
kitchen sink icon (under uwm at least).  When we start up an emacs with
"-i", then use uwm to try to iconify it, uwm dies a horrible death ("bus
error").  

I've looked through a bunch of documentation, searching for why we had this
last week and no longer do.  The Xaw manual (CH2) says programs look in the
search given by bitmapFilePath, defaulting to /usr/include/X11/bitmaps.  Well,
we have a pretty generic installation, and I put the
$EMACS-BUILD/etc/emacs.icon in that directory, with two names ("emacs" and
"emacs.icon"), no luck.  I tried giving xrdb the resource "*BitmapFilePath*:
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps", still no luck.  Help, posted or private, is greatly
appreciated!  It could be a problem with either installation, I'm just a hacker
trying to pretend to be systems support.
