I tested the feature with some window managers.

Here is the result:

mlcc is useful for me.
I added the following aliases to ~/.bashrc.

function launch_with_icon ()
{
	ICON_DIR=/home/sch/Icons

	case $1 in
	vim|vimdiff)
		ICON=$ICON_DIR/gvim.png
		;;
	mutt)
		ICON=$ICON_DIR/mutt_icon.gif
		;;
	man)
		ICON=$ICON_DIR/Manual.png
		;;
	*)
		ICON=""
		;;
	esac

	if test x$ICON = x ; then
		$@
	else
		mlcc icon_path $ICON
		$@
		mlcc icon_path $ICON_DIR/mlterm-icon-gnome2.png
	fi
}

if test x$TERM = xmlterm ; then
	alias vim="launch_with_icon vim"
	alias vimdiff="launch_with_icon vimdiff"
	alias mutt="launch_with_icon mutt"
	alias man="launch_with_icon man"
fi
