Have you changed your Xwindows login logo? If so, help...

We have a VAXCluster with several VAXstation 2000's and 3100's served by a
MicroVax 3800.  We have followed the manual as we understand it by creating
the DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM by adding the symbol DECW$LOGINLOGO

Excerpt from DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM:
$ !
$ ! This is an example session customization file.  You can specify how you
$ ! want the session to configure itself by defining some DCL symbols here.
$ ! To use this file, first copy it to an executable command file:
$ !
$ !    $ COPY DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE *.COM
$ !
$ ! Next, edit DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM to specify the setup options
$ ! you want.  You can use this file to specify the following:
$ !    Logo        DECW$LOGINLOGO        DCL command file filespec
$ !
...
$ ! This section is used to define private session setup options that all the
$ ! workstations in a cluster have in common, or to define the setup options
$ ! for a stand-alone workstation.
$ !
$ ! Note that if most, but not all, of the workstations have the same setup
$ ! option in common, you can define the symbol for the common setup option
$ ! in this section, and then redefine the same symbol in the following
$ ! workstation-specific section only for those workstations that require a
$ ! different setup option.
$ !
$ ! The following commented out definitions are examples of the kinds of
$ ! customizations you can make.
$ !
$ ! decw$sylogin == "sys$manager:decw$sylogin.com"
$ !
$ ! decw$sessioninit == "run sys$system:decw$wsinit"
$ !
$ ! decw$loginlog == "sys$manager:decw$login.log"
$ !
$ ! decw$sessionlog == "true"
$ DECW$LOGINLOGO == "SYS$COMMON:LOGO.COM"    !!! WE added this line !!!
$ !
...

In the LOGO.COM file for testing purposes we ran the DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE

LOGO.COM:
$ RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE

Our result has been that the 2000's no longer display "Digital", but they
don't run ICO. The rest of the cluster still displays "Digital".

What are we not doing right? Any help appreciated...
