You can't push/pop Icon files for a window, only one icon is stored.
Hovewer you may do DestroyWindowStyle on deiconify if this helps.

You may also listen to destroy_window packet and then remove the icons,
not immediately after one second.

I would use "import -geometry 64 -resize 64 -silent" without additional
convert and use *IconTitle* and *IconBackground* style options instead.
Should be faster.

Mikhael.
