OK, I tried.

First I tried to create a multi-color pixmap, and set iconPixmap to that.
No, no, no.  RTFM!  The F Manual says, the iconPixmap must be only one
bitplane.  Didn't work.  What do you know?

Then I tried to set iconWindow to the XtWindow() of a popup shell,
first a transientShellWidget, then a overrideShellWidget.  Neither of
those worked for what I wanted.  Iconifying the application worked fine,
but de-iconifying the iconWindow did nothing.

I give.  Is there a way to create an icon window within the toolkit 
structure, so I can take advantage of the quick interface and the 
automatic use of the resource database?  Or do I have to create the
window with XCreateWindow?  (ugh!)

  Sisyphus's philosophy:  If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try
  try, try, try, RTFM, try, try, try, try, RTFM, ask someone, try, try
  again and again.
