Thank you, that did it, with a nice one-liner:


        /* Set our icon. */
        gtk_window_set_icon ((GtkWindow *)window,
                             gdk_pixbuf_new_from_inline ( -1,
        iconPixBuf, false, NULL));

I went with the pixbuf rather than xpm because the pixbuf will be as
portable as gkt+ lets it be, and everything else graphical in the
program is gtk+.
