Well, here is a piece of code from a program I wrote.

win.wm_iconbitmap( "@canvas_icon.xbm" )

where "win" is a widget, and 'canvas_icon.xbm' is a filename of an X
bitmap.

Back in the day, I look for a way of doing it with pipes, or file like
objects, etc. but no such luck.  Perhaps Tk has added some features
since then.  If you don't want permanent files, you could write
temporary files and delete them.
