I suspect this is related to an issue reported before with the hippo
icon (I assume it's the one Chuck mentioned in a previous email?).  I
don't remember the exact details, but I remember Vista not liking the
icon unless it was embedded in a dll (which Chuck subsequently
uploaded).

To use it, try:

mintty --icon=/cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10

which will get you the hippo icon.
