Take a look how I did with the magnifier:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier

I created a .rc file which includes a .ico file. I then compile the
file into a .res file with the help of a .bat script that calls
windres.

Then I include the .res file into my software with {$R resource.res}

Yes it does. There are probably other ways, but it looks on the
default icon directories for program icons. If you program is called
USB, then he will look into /usr/share/icons or similar for a USB.xmp
file.

Recently, support for {R$ } directive on linux was added to the
compiler. I don“t know how this helps, however.
