You say that you don't have any icon for Eterm at all or you have the
wrong icon? Eterm supplies its own icon picture and you should see it.
If no, something is wrong here.
Anyway, if you want to override the icon that Eterm supplies do:
Style Eterm* IconOverride
BTW, Eterm is not the only application that provides icon picture hint.
If you use unified icon set and don't want applications to add chaos
(every application may have its own idea how its icon should look and of
which size), you may do:
Style * IconOverride
Style XTerm NoActiveIconOverride # enable: xterm +ai
Tell us whether this solved your problem or not.
