I don't think we're talking about the same icon.  The one I referred to 
is a black C superimposed over a green X, and it has many options to 
start programs, including XTerm (under System Tools).  It's started by 
the xwin-xdg-icon program, which in turn is started by 
/etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc (unless you have a ~/.startxwinrc that 
overrides it).  Does 'ps' show that xwin-xdg-icon is running?
