Ok, I think we disagree on this point, but if this is the intended
behavior, then I'm not going to argue about it. I just find it irritating
that I have to include the same icon twice: once for setting the window
icon and once for setting the desktop icon.
Still, I'll modify my code to do just that.
Where can I find the platform SDK docs you mentioned?
