How do I set the default title bar icon for X11 applications? The xterm on my machine is displaying an icon with a red x instead of the normal application-default icon. Changing themes in gnome doesn't help either.

Do you want to change the icon for xterm alone or for all applications?Gowtham– Gowtham2012-03-27 15:57:04 +00:00Commented Mar 27, 2012 at 15:57

You could do this system-wide by changing the Icon value in the corresponding .desktop entry for xterm. These types of entries are usually located in /usr/share/applications. Look for the entry named something like xterm.desktop and set the Icon value to an image file located somewhere in /usr/share/icons i.e. Icon=my_xterm_icon.png. You might want to check if there is already some icons that you want to use there:
$ find /usr/share/icons -iname "*xterm*" -print
Apply this to all entries to have all X11 applications use the same icon.
At least for the annoying XTerm icon, running the xterm command with an additional option: +ai should remove that icon...
