A trivial little shell script I use for setting xterm title/icon via escape

That sequence is setting the icon *label*, not the icon. Mintty cannot support
it because there is no corresponding Windows function.
But there is a sequence of Windows functions from:
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/28470/
summarizing (but this is from 2010 so may need tweaks):
"There are two icons in the window, 32x32 and 16x16.
If you want to change the the icon at the task bar and title bar you should do:
hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(NULL, "menu_two.ico", IMAGE_ICON, 32, 32,
LR_LOADFROMFILE);
hIconSm = (HICON)LoadImage(NULL, "menu_two.ico", IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16,
LR_LOADFROMFILE);
LoadImage just loads the icon from the file. You need to assign the icon to the
window. You do this by sending a WM_SETICON message:
SendMessage( yourwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, (LPARAM)hIconSm );
SendMessage( yourwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, (LPARAM)hIcon );
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632643(VS.85).aspx
I found out the difference with the ICON_SMALL and ICON_BIG, if you only set
ICON_SMALL then the Alt-Tab icon is stretched and looks bad.
If you set the ICON_BIG as well as ICON_SMALL, then everything looks nice."
For Xwindow icons, some approaches from google, depending on needs:
