There are differences between widgetsets. On windows application is a 
separate window and the project icon is associated with it. On gtk2 
taskbar icons are shown per form and icons are the same as forms have 
(btw, bsDialog should not have a taskbar icon but currently in gtk2 it 
has). On OSX forms can't have an icon and only application can have one 
- it is shown on the dock.

Therefore if you are working with gtk2 and you have only bsDialog form 
then you should not see any icon on the taskbar.
