So far every application *except xterm* I have tried has the same icon
in the top left corner of its window as well as the taskbar. I tried GTK
as well as Qt applications. To me this seems to indicate a bug in xterm
rather than lxpanel.

Thanks for clearing up my misreading

xterm may have a bug, but that would also mean emacs gui does too, but
may also be using an xterm.

Can anyone say if xterm shows an icon in taskbar with other desktops
than lxde?



Debian testing / Xfce / xterm. The proper xterm icon definitely shows
up in both Window Buttons and in Window Menu (which is what I normally
use).

Is one of the places you mention above, located in the taskbar like
area across the bottom of screen? And appears there when you start the
app?

That is, the icon that represents the running program when it is running?
Sorry. I should have explained since there's no reason an lxde user should know the names of the Xfce panel applets.
The Window Buttons applet is a taskbar applet which puts a button on the taskbar for each application running on the current workspace. So, to answer your question, yes.
I just mentioned the Window Menu one because it shrinks all of that into a single button that you can expand with a mouse click. Since I almost always use just my keyboard (Alt-Tab) for switching among applications, I don't really need my taskbar cluttered with buttons. And the Window Menu is there is I really want to use a mouse for switching applications or for seeing what applications are open on each workspace.
