Hello,

I have developed a small program using ESbox. It works well when I execute
it on my N900.

I want to attach a specific icon to this program. I use a 48*48 px image
(PNG format) that I have resized with the GIMP. I use the following command
to generate a base64 coded image:

uuencode -m icon.png icon.png > icon_64.base64

But when I install my deb package on the device, the icon does not work. I
only have the blue square instead.

The instructions at:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#Displaying_an_icon_in_the_Application_Manager_next_to_your_package

(that you apparently followed) refer to an icon in the application manager only. If you wish to have an icon shown in the application menu, then you should install it to the correct location (usually /usr/share/icons/hicolor/<size> where <size> is one of a range of possible values, e.g. 16x16, 32x32, scalable). Then, you must refer to that icon in the desktop file, see:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#Desktop_files

and the links in that section for some more details.
