Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Looks like they must have fixed 
the problem. Last time I tried it ran without errors but didn't change 
the icon - that would have been with Python 2.2-3(ish) on Windows XP.
It was a known issue on the Tk forums...

Hmm, Googling, it looks like it was probably fixed in Tk 8.4.
Which is a wee while ago! :-)

Although I see it still being described as a bug up until April 2008 at 
least. The suggested "fix" being to edit the icon in wish.exe using a 
resource editor - yikes!
