I've found the solution.  For those that are interested
here's what you need to do:
        (define ok-image
          (make <Photo-Image> :file "/usr/local/STk-3.0b1/Lib/images/Ok.gif"))
        (define iconwindow (make <Toplevel>))
        (define iconlabel (make <Label> :parent iconwindow :image ok-image))
        (pack iconlabel)
        (slot-set! *top-root* 'icon-window iconwindow)
This works like a charm.  
A quick question:  When you use the textvariable feature for 
<Labeled-entry> it seems to only work for global variables.  Is
this the expected behavior?
On another vein, I plugged in the tkImgPmap.c from the Tk archive
site with no problem at all (after I got a copy of the XPM library
from another archive site).  That is also working like a charm.
I love STk!
