The Program Manager uses, by default, the first icon resource listed in
the applications resource file.  If you select the application in Program
Manager, press Alt+Enter to display the "Properties" dialog, then press
the "Icon" button, you should see all the icons present and you'll be able
to select the one you want displayed.

To fix this "problem", just make the applications icon the first one in
the application's resource file.
