Is your application.ico specified in a resource file, for use with your
application? If so, did you also recompile that, and link the resultant
object file with the application? (If not, then that's the step you are
missing).

Yes ... mingw-get.exe uses an icon borrowed from Synaptic, (a package
manager GUI, used by several GNU/Linux distributions as a wrapper for
APT). You can find the source in the MinGW.org git repository:
