I second this request, I have my own icon using mintty, and it's 
annoying to also have to have the default icon to not have to click the 
checkbox every time I run setup...

By the way, I LOVE mintty, it is awesome :) Thinking about doing some 
work on it to read .Xdefaults for the color scheme (or at least have a 
configurable color scheme) and an option to detect URLs like the matcher 
plugin in urxvt or some of the Putty variants like KiTTy/Puttytray.
