It is always a good idea to

use FindBin;
load "$FindBin::RealBin/icons/my.ico" ( ok, you should use
File::Spec, but you get the idea )

Are you sure? Doesn't explicitly chdir()ing to the program
directory solve the problem?

I am almost sure that filedialog does a chdir() in some versions
of wxWindows ( because the native Win32 dialog does that ).
