Yes. And the reason for that is that this *is* a DOS program. DJGPP
compiles DOS programs, not Windows applications.

To see, you may try the 'properties' of the .exe file. You'll notice
that it offers DOS settings for you to change.

That's a rather different situation. I'm not sure about kdevelop, but
DevC++ definitely uses MinGW32 to compile, so it generates Windows
applications.  Such apps can have their own icon, and whatever other
things you might like in a Windows application.
