I'm not sure what's being to referred to in the original problem from Angelo,
but FWIW the change back a while was getting rid of all LoadIcon() calls and
instead using LoadImage()s instead (since we support DLL icons, .ico files,
etc.). You need to use DestroyIcon() if the HANDLE is a from LoadIcon, and
just plain DestroyObject() if the HANDLE is from LoadImage or you get a
GDI leak.
Lev Bishop was talking about doing some changes to do a LoadImage() for both
large and small icon sizes, but I don't think anything became of it...
