There is a plug-in for gimp-1.2 called winicon which can load/save MS
Windows .ico files. You can find it on 
http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=2223

Alternative you can use a .png file - or even an animated .mng file.
Just specify the right mime type:

link rel=icon href=favicon.mng type=video/x-mng

Sincerely,

I thought that .ico files were (more or less) BMPs with size
limitations (16x16, 32x32, etc), in which case you could save
your file with the extension .ico selecting the type to be BMP.

Just checking that works... Yup. Works fine. You can't get
transparency though - the bmp plug-in doesn't support it.

Cheers,
Dave.

There are plenty of tutorials about this on the internet.

One such is http://www.winterdrache.de/freeware/png2ico/index.html

This describes how to turn a png image into a windows icon file, on 
Windows, Linux or FreeBSD.

Cheers,

Jon
