For those curious, this MSVC solution worked:         // Format a "unique" NewWindowTitle.         sprintf(pszNewWindowTitle, "%d/%d",             GetTickCount(), GetCurrentProcessId());         sprintf(pszNewCommand, "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c \'echo -ne \"\\e]2;%s\\a\"\'", pszNewWindowTitle);         system(pszNewCommand);         // Ensure window title has been updated.         Sleep(40);         // Look for NewWindowTitle.         hwndFound = FindWindow(NULL, pszNewWindowTitle);  // our program There is no way that I know of to get the original title so I had to make my program set the title to something meaningful while changing the icon.  There are other difficulties as well when freeing icon handles but I have a solution if anyone is interested.
