Is the .ico format even supported by Gtk+?  Usually people use .png.

I strongly suspect the relative pathname is not going to work.  You
should pass an absolute filename, such as "/usr/share/myapp/icon.png".

Also, I believe the window manager in Maemo (matchbox) wants to
determine the icon from the .desktop file corresponding to your app,
rather than from the _NET_WM_ICON property that
gtk_window_set_icon_from_file.

Now you have three things to check, any of which could be the cause why
your icon is missing.
