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).  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.
