[ ] The Mintty icon in the taskbar sometimes shows up as the Windows default icon (see screenshot) for programs that don't have an icon. If I change the taskbar behavior to show names, and if the taskbar buttons overflow to the "..." area, then it shows correctly. It shows correctly in the window's title bar. I does this when launched from git-bash.exe in the distribution; so it is not a shortcut issue. From what I've read about Mintty, this is somehow related to taskbar grouping and AppID.

The icon used to work correctly, I think before a recent update. I did try creating a shortcut and setting its AppID with the win7appid program I found on the Mintty site, but still no joy.
BTW, this is even after several reboots and fully clearing the icon cache.
