This is not considered to be a basic question I believe. The answer is:

I used this recipe to put icons on my desktop:
 
 in your ~/.enlightenment/themes/whatever_theme/
 
 you'll find imageclasses.cfg which add something like:
 
 ----------------
 __ICLASS __BGN
         __NAME ICONBAR_MYPC
         __NORMAL "buttons/images/xterm.png"
         __HILITED "buttons/images/xterm2.png"
         __CLICKED "buttons/images/xterm3.png"
 __END
 -----------------
 and you have to place the png icon files in 
 ~/.enlightenment/themes/whatever_theme/buttons/images/  folder
 
 then in your ~/.enlightenment/themes/whatever_theme/
 add to buttons.cfg the following:
 
 -------------------
 __BUTTON __BGN
   __NAME ICONBAR_XTERM
   __ICLASS ICONBAR_XTERM
   __ACLASS ICONBAR_XTERM
     __KEEP_ON_TOP __OFF
     __USE_SIZE_OF_IMAGE __ON
     __MAKE_STICKY __OFF
     __SHOW_BY_DEFAULT __ON
   __X_ORIGIN 0
   __Y_ORIGIN 0
   __X_PERCENTAGE 224
   __X_ABSOLUTE 0
   __Y_PERCENTAGE 1024
   __Y_ABSOLUTE -64
 __END
 ---------------- 
 
 then finally  ~/.enlightenment/themes/whatever_theme/
 add to actionclasses.cfg the following:
 
 -----------------------
 __ACLASS __BGN
         __NAME ICONBAR_MYPC
         __TOOLTIP_TEXT "DESKTOP ICON"
         __TYPE __TYPE_NORMAL
         __TOOLTIP_ACTION_TEXT "My Xterm"
         __BUTTON 1
         __EVENT __MOUSE_RELEASE
         __ACTION __A_EXEC xterm
 __END
 ------------------------
 
 and you'll be done with it!
