I mentioned then that winicontoppm and ppmtowinicon from the netpbm package could already do the job. Icoutils was mentioned then too. I think one of the then available packages can make multi-image .ico files, because I remember having done that with standard installed packages. The bug number is 173050. I have not rechecked the current status of the packages involved. Ciao. Vincent.
