Sure, I'd like to hear the cause!  Were you planning on sidestepping the
issue by making a wrapper around the ICON/IMAGE to keep track of whether you
LoadIcon()'d or LoadImaged()'d them, so you know how to get rid of them?

I also stumbled upon the cygwin calls for converting from cygwin paths to
Win32 paths, it may make sense to support both path types when specifying
from where to load ICONs.

PNG icon support would be neat and easy too, but it doesn't look like
libpng is standard in the X tree and I wouldn't want to add dependencies...
