Unfortunately, to X these are all the same application (the terminal
emulator), so they all get the same icon. People have asked for the
ability to assign an icon, but it's always been shot down as a
non-standard extension.

Perhaps the best thing to do would be to ask the freedesktop.org folks or
the aterm authors for a standard --icon=whatever command line option.
