What color depth did you create the icons at ?
32 bits (in GIMP).
This blog posts suggest the problem is more horrific than you can possibly imagine, requiring a total of 12 icons to be provided for proper Windows compatability

And apparently all the different versions should be in the same .ICO file ?!?!
Uurrgghhhh. I'm quite sure there used to be programs to generate and manipulate ICO files from Linux but I can't find any at the moment. It doesn't necessarily matter if all the icons are combined into a single file or not, because i686-pc-mingw32-windres combines everything into a single resource object (a COFF object file) which gets linked to the final executable. Suggest that we add the patch & icons as-is and let people who use Vista and/or are graphic designers deal with this in the future?
