| Style "Netscape" Icon blank.xpm

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Here's the .xpm file I
created:
/* XPM */
static char * transparent_xpm[] = {
"40 1 1 1",
" s None c none",
" "};
and it's in my PixmapPath.
I set:
Style "*" Icon transparent.xpm
yet both my Netscape and XEmacs icons end up with big (64x64?) icons.
For what it's worth, the XEmacs icons initially start out as I want them
(but then they did even before I specified this transparent.xpm icon),
but right after startup (after parsing the .emacs file), it seems that
XEmacs installs a new icon which overrides the original.
I _can_, however, add this to my .emacs:
(if (boundp 'frame-icon-glyph)
;; XEmacs 19.14 installs a huge icon by default (19.13 and earlier didn't...)
(set-glyph-image frame-icon-glyph "~/bin/transparent.xpm"))
to override Emacs's override. But that still leaves me with big
Netscape icons.
Also: with a transparent XEmacs icon, if I try to move the icon, it goes
completely invisible -- not even the title is visible during the
move. This is different than my Xterm icons (which stay visible during a
move), so I guess this isn't exactly the same as whatever FVWN us doing
by default...
More ideas?
