If any xterm is open - or in fact if any other program has that file
"locked and loaded", then the effect of replacing that file on disk
will not be seen until the file gets unlocked and reloaded - logging
out of X and back in should do it (as would rebooting of course).

There ought be a more elegant "reload this icon" method rather than
logout/in - perhaps someone else knows what it is?
