{ win-list }
    This variable specifies a list of window names and the bitmap filenames that should be used as their icons. For example:


    Icons
    {
        "XTerm"    "xterm.icon"
        "xfd"        "xfd_icon"
    }

    Windows that match ``XTerm'' and would not be iconified by unmapping, and would try to use the icon bitmap in the file ``xterm.icon''. If ForceIcons is specified, this bitmap will be used even if the client has requested its own icon pixmap. 
...

I'm advise you to try the fvwm as a lightweigth WM.

This is an excerpt from my  ~/fvwm/config
...
ImagePath $HOME/icons:+:$HOME/icons/Background;png
ImagePath +:/usr/share/pixmaps;png:
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons;png
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/locolor/32x32/apps
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps
...
Style *FileRunner*       Icon fr.xpm
Style mxterm             Icon Dtterm.xpm, IconOverride
