I was thinking the same. Actually, when someone pointed out in this thread
that windows does this automatically when you name the icon IDI_APPLICATION,
I renamed all my icons to that.. and now all my windowed allegro programs
display nice icons, just like standard applications :) So this discussion
certainly only is relevant for non-windows systems.. (only X-Windows to be
more specific, as BeOS doesn't seem to allow changing of icons at run-time)
