Newbie Qt programmer can't figure out how to set application's main icon, it
defaults to 'X'.  Please point me to an example, or docs which explain
this.  (I'm handcoding my app, not using Designer.)

Thanks.

call the setIcon method of the main widget.

Cheers,
Kevin

But it depends upon the window manager whether it shows. I use setIcon and it shows
on Qt-3.1.1-Embedded (of course) and on any QT version on KDE2/3 but not on Fvwm.
When I told Fvwm about it they said: "Look at Kcalc, it shows!" And sure enough
Kcalc shows the icon, mine does not. So I looked at iconloader.h in KDE and that
is a mess to follow. So I'd be curious if you use setIcon whether it shows
the icon and with what windowmgr.
Hugo.

I'm using KDE 3.0.3 so this won't tell you anything you didn't already know.  
However I am having a hard time getting the icon to display.  Passing the
xpm filename to setIcon doesn't seem to work.  Am wondering if icon size
matters?  I'm using a 32 x 32 bit format.

code (in main widget constructor):

setIcon(QPixmap("/home/fgb/c/fgo2/fgoIcon.xpm"));

OK I got it.. changed filespec to contents of filespec and it works.
