NB: c:\_0 is my root.

I just looked at the ownership/mode of hippo_xp.ico and it was
lr:none and 700. I changed it to lr:root and 777, and the Windows
shortcut still doesn't work. While lr is part of root
(Administrators), I don't run the shortcut with elevated
privilege.

Screen flickers, nothing else happens.

No. No matter how I specify mintty or the icon on the command
line, 'mintty' cannot load the icon.

e.g., all of the following don't work:

$ mintty --icon=/hippo_xp.ico -
mintty: could not load icon -- /hippo_xp.ico

$ /bin/mintty.exe --icon=$(cygpath -ua 'c:\_0\hippo_xp.ico') -
mintty: could not load icon -- /hippo_xp.ico

...

yet:

$ ls -al /
...
-rwxrwxrwx+  1 lr root   46878 2009-12-05 08:26 hippo_xp.ico
...

$ mintty --version
mintty 0.5.5
...

WTF,O,

Lee
