That seems to be /usr/share/xemacs-21.4.22/etc/xemacs-icon.xpm and
xemacs appears to set it programatically.
When started from mintty, the xemach window has the generic Cywgin-X
icon, then switches to the red XE icon after it gets initialized.

xemacs is just a shortcut:
$ ls -l /bin/xemacs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ecsardu root 18 Jul 29 15:41 /bin/xemacs -> xemacs-21.4.22.exe*

When started from a windows shortcut pointing to xemacs-21.4.22.exe,
it shows up with the icon of xemacs-21.4.22.exe and does not change
(because there is no DISPLAY in my Windows environment).
