This *might* be enough ... put it in .Xdefaults
Code:

*useSchemes: All
If not, we'll have to add some more stuff ... there's other ways to do it also but that's the easiest for me.

Minimized ones are easy ... make a .icons directory directly under your home. Try not to dig up grandma in the process. Then create your graphic in that directory at the correct size (some weird size, similar to 60 x 80 but odd numbered) then name that as
executable name_of_application
.icon. Viola, when you minimize your app that's the icon that will show on the desktop.
The only app I have where that doesn't work is Thunderturd. Somewhere, deep in the bowels of the 'turd, is an icon that it insists on using. Finding it is a project for a rainy day.

I've been round the houses many times, how does one do it on IRIX?
For real actual icons that are linked with a particular application, best ask canavan or read the 4Dwm docs but in essence, it's similar to OS/2. Extended attributes in the file system connect an icon to an application. In Irix, you have to jump through some hoops with 'file type rules ' (ftr 's) and an incantation to associate the two. The Techpubs articles are not half bad.
The only really peculiar part about the process is choosing the "application type number" to use. Where do I get that ? out my ass ?
Pretty much
If Linux had the Workplace Shell it'd be hot. Instead, they built that grisly abortion named gtk2. Stay away from that place, it smells bad
