What I expected to happen was...:
The Minecraft game client would have the Crafting Bench icon in the taskbar.
What actually happened was...:
The launcher gave "[Client thread/ERROR]: Couldn't set icon", and the icon defaulted to a generic icon. There seems to be some other errors in the log, may or may not be related.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the launcher by double-clicking Minecraft.exe
2. Press "Play" once it's logged in
3. Wait for assets to be downloaded
4. Observe bug

I have attached the full log, and a screenshot of the bug.

Confirmed in Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS). Specific log error:
[Client thread/ERROR]: Couldn't set icon
[12:55:14 INFO]: Client> javax.imageio.IIOException: Can't read input file!
Was fine in 13w48b, even after the new "asset management system" change. In fact, it fixed a long-standing issue I had where the "workbench" icon had a random section of it erased (looking fine in the file itself) when displayed on the window button on the panel.
The icon even still works fine in 13w48b if I switch to it, so it's not an asset issue.
I too can confirm this happening on XP 32-bit. I've seen this icon a few times before, but I never checked the Development Console to see if it's an error.
Also confirmed in Windows 7 x64, JRE x64.
One thing insomniac_lemon, how did you get Minecraft to work in Ubuntu?
@Victor Tran, as Galaxy_2Alex said, should be fixed for 1.7.3 pre and I can confirm that is for me.
As for how I got it working, I just installed Java and downloaded the launcher (in other words, I didn't do anything special....). Minecraft works on any OS that supports Java, the rest is up to hardware and drivers (which, I have decent/good hardware, and using proprietary drivers). If you're having issues, ask on MCF, or search here on Jira to see if an issue you're having has already been reported.
Confirmed, icon does not set in user or admin modes.
