I don't know if this will work but you might try using XGetWMHints()
to get the icon window. Bear in mind that this may not work with all
window managers (if it works as all) -- it doesn't under tvtwm since
tvtwm uses a window list rather than icons.
It's not clear to me what you're doing to the icon. Are you actually
changing the Pixmap or just the label? If you're just changing the
label, you might want to use XSetWMIconName(). This works without any
fudging of expose events.
If you're changing the Pixmap itself, take a look at the XSetWMHints()
function. It allows you to set a Pixmap. I haven't tried this since
I run tvtwm and there is no icon Pixmap _per_se_ under it -- just a
clickable list of windows.
Hope this helps.
