No, I don't think it does, from the Gtk+ documentation:

"Sets the icon for the window from a named themed icon. See the docs for
GtkIconTheme for more details.

Note that this has nothing to do with the WM_ICON_NAME property which is
mentioned in the ICCCM."

What we could use is gdk_window_set_icon_name (Note gdk_, not gtk_).  It is
available in Gtk+ 2.4 and onwards, 2.4 is the minimum Emacs require.
But this function blindly assumes the name passed is in UTF-8 and sets both
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME and WM_ICON_NAME to that.  x_set_name_internal at least
tries to decode things correctly for the window manager.

The reason for using gtk functions (gtk_window_set_title) is that the
information is saved in Gtk+, and also that the function sets
_NET_WM_ICON_NAME.  But it also sets WM_ICON_NAME, but with a possible wrong
encoding, so we call XSetWMIconName to fix that.

Come to think of it, all builds should set _NET_WM_ICON_NAME to the UTF-8
encoded icon name.
