OK, thanks for the code.  I just looked at it, and it seems the only 
difference is that you call SDL_WM_SetIcon() at different times; 
sometimes before SDL_SetVideoMode() and sometimes after.

However, I just noticed something else; the way I do it (icon before 
video mode) only causes a problem when using the normal XP theme.  When 
I use the old Win98/2000 theme, the icon works fine!

Does anyone know what could be causing this?
