The recent changes from LoadIcon to LoadImage, while technically The Right Thing, have made the default X icon less pretty in the small size (ie in window titles, on the taskbar). I can explain in detail the cause of this if anyone cares. Last night I was toying in my head with a few ideas for extensions to the current icon handling system that would cover this and a few other nitpicky icon prettiness issues in a more general/complete way -- I'll probably have a go at coding those ideas up next weekend if I don't get a chance before.
Sure, I'd like to hear the cause! Were you planning on sidestepping the issue by making a wrapper around the ICON/IMAGE to keep track of whether you LoadIcon()'d or LoadImaged()'d them, so you know how to get rid of them?
I also stumbled upon the cygwin calls for converting from cygwin paths to Win32 paths, it may make sense to support both path types when specifying from where to load ICONs.
PNG icon support would be neat and easy too, but it doesn't look like libpng is standard in the X tree and I wouldn't want to add dependencies...
