Have you tried:

#include "fileicon.h"
fileicon((wimp_w) dbox_syshandle(my_dialog), my_file_icon, the_file_type);

This sets up the icon to be a sprite of the right type for the file type.  Also
have you checked that the sprite area for the window is specifed to be 1 (i.e.
the shared wimp sripte area)?
