Hi Andrei,

After some help from Havoc, I managed to get gdk_window_set_icon() working.

I am working on UNIX/Linux, and the function is used to give a window an
icon, when the window itself is iconised.

I have a Pixmap for the icon called IconPixMap. First make the Pixmap from 
an xpm which contains the icon desired.


  GdkPixmap * IconPixMap = NULL;
  GdkBitmap * mask = NULL;
  IconPixMap = gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm (
                                                    NULL,
                                                    gdk_colormap_get_system(),
                                                    &mask,
                                                    NULL,
                                                    (gchar *) PathToXpmFile
                                                   );

To associate my Pixmap Icon with given widget's window (first ensure the widget have been
created !, then)

  gdk_window_set_icon (widget->window, 
		       widget->window,
		       IconPixMap,
		       (GdkBitmap * ) NULL
                      );


Hope this way useful....

best regards
