The icon which appears in the Program Manager is essentially unrelated
to the one displayed when an application's window is minimized.  The
Program Manager stores an icon in its .GRP file; by default this is
the first one it finds in the .exe file, but you can easily change it,
as you did.  The one displayed when the application is running is
explicitly loaded from the .exe when the program runs.  To change this,
you must use a resource editor program.  I don't have one, except for
some experimental stuff I have written; I think hDC sells one.
