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.

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 ...
