If window manager in question is the one that supports both
 - if it is not capable of handling icon_windows then this question is
unappropriate altogether.

Of course window manager may let user change any part of its behaviour,
that's
not the question. The idea behind ICCCM and hints at all is to define the
"most likely behaviour". So what I'm saying is that the "most likely
behaviour"
on part of window manager would be to prefer icon_window over any pixmap.
