In 2.5.x, the mini icon and icon provided by EWMH compliant applications,
for example KDE 2.x/3.x or GNOME 2.x, are used unless explicitly disabled.
So, in 2.5.x you don't need to define MiniIcon and Icon for these apps.
But you can, of course.

Dominik, you always suggest to edit .Xdefaults, but this usually only
works with apps that already support -geometry or -xrm parameters.
GNOME and KDE applications (or gtk+ and qt applications for that reason)
do not support X resource database, so this suggestion does not work.
Many such applications support --geometry or --position command line
parameters (2 dashes). If no, your solution is FAQ #3.18.

Mikhael.
