I don't think we're talking about the same icon. The one I referred to is a black C superimposed over a green X, and it has many options to start programs, including XTerm (under System Tools). It's started by the xwin-xdg-icon program, which in turn is started by /etc/X11/xinit/startxwinrc (unless you have a ~/.startxwinrc that overrides it). Does 'ps' show that xwin-xdg-icon is running?
