	I had been told that it was simply name.IconPixmap which
	would take a bitmap and put it as its icon.  However, when
	I added this line in my .Xdefaults file:

xclock.IconPixmap:  /u4/home/jc/bin/bitmaps/jcname

	OLWM would not startup.  It did not exit, it just hung there.
	The same thing happened with OLVWM.  I tried more than one
	bitmap, but they all hung. 

	Anyone have any pointers?
