I've noticed that it doesn't change too, under MSW, but couldn't
understand why, since it works in GTK.

Ahhh, I just discovered that you need to use a 32x32 bit XPM file or
load a 32x32 ico from disk in MSW.

If you want to change the icon that is displayed in windows explorer
you have to change the icon in the wxluafreeze.rc resource file and
recompile. I found these programs that I think should be able to
change the icon of a precompiled executable, but I haven't tested
either.
