Interesting - for it to be a difference between
gnome-terminal and xterm, you run a terminal
Emacs, right? As in -nw ?

Only if you do, how can there be an
*icon* issue?

Answer:

    In order for the icons to work it is very
    important that you install the Resource
    Fonts included in this package, they are
    available in the fonts directory. [1]

BTW gnome-terminal is actually supposed to
emulate xterm [2], only it is slower and not
as good :)
