How can I change the icon showed by the window manager in emacs?

I want to change the icon which is displayed for the emacs window (frame). For two different sessions (gnus and normal emacs editing) I want to have different icons. Any ideas how I can achieve that?

See the Emacs manual, node Icons X. This is what it says about this:

By default, Emacs uses an icon containing the Emacs logo.  On
desktop environments such as Gnome, this icon is also displayed in
other contexts, e.g., when switching into an Emacs frame.  The `-nbi'
or `--no-bitmap-icon' option tells Emacs to let the window manager
choose what sort of icon to use--usually just a small rectangle
containing the frame's title.

On some window managers or platforms you might need to find another way to do it.
