TkMan.xpm must be in your PixmapPath for the Icon command to find it.

I have several apps running right now that provide their own icons
(Netscape, for example).

This is why you don't see any builtin icons. But judging from your

Ah - the real problem. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to
add some way to say "use this as the default icon unless the program
wants to provide one itself". I'll have to investigate this.
