the newer GTK builds for win32 do not support ICO format - workaround it
— at Version 8
Added a test for it so we dont flood the logs (r1523)
GError: This build of gdk-pixbuf does not support saving the image format: ico
But we should either save it in png format (and hope the user's version of windows supports that or at least fails gracefully) or find a library that will convert it to ico (not found so far - only reading is supported, see PIL, etc)
Maybe pywin32 can give us access to something in windows API that will do the job, this is not too far off (it's only reading though).
Found Icon.Save in .NET
this example writes it out straight to file.
Newer versions of windows support icons as PNGs, we should at least do that when saving .ICO fails.
