yes - from xterm's standpoint it's moderately complicated.
For Xwin Server, I assume that the icon is shown because that's the
window which keeps the server from exiting.
Though I investigated several cases, I didn't consider this particular
one. xterm now specifies an icon because several of the cases I found
didn't provide any icon at all - a favor from the desktop packagers, it
seems. I did consider providing a special resource value that would
suppress the xterm-specific icon (such as "none" or "default"), but
decided to see what type of feedback I'd get first.
