Works fine for me.

man xterm =>

       -T string
               This option specifies the title for  xterm's  win-
               dows.  It is equivalent to -title.

       -n string
               This  option  specifies  the icon name for xterm's
               windows.   It  is  shorthand  for  specifying  the
               ``*iconName'' resource.  


	HTH,
