If it doesn't work on already-created windows that's a window manager
issue, the WM isn't monitoring icon changes. By my reading the ICCCM 
does not require that the WM monitor this property for changes.

As a workaround, you could set a window as an icon instead of an
image, then you can redraw your window yourself.
