That may be a question to direct at your toolkit.  At the bottom
level, you're probably wanting the ICCCM WM_ICON_NAME property.

At the xlib level,
http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/ICC/client-to-window-manager/wm-icon-name.html
are some hints.  A glance at the GTK docs doesn't turn up anything
(gtk_window_set_icon_name() is specifically _not_ that).  So maybe you
do need to sneak under the toolkit to do it.
