Note that this has been fought over and over again by OS/2 users.  This was
answered by saying that a dialog box is NOT a frame and should NOT have support
for such items as a sizing border, an icon, etc.  If you want this, you have to
do it manually:

MRESULT EXPENTRY myDlgProc(HWND hwnd,USHORT msg,MPARAM mp1,MPARAM mp2)
{
   switch (msg) {
   case WM_INITDLG:
      {
         HPOINTER hIcon;
 
         /******************************
          Note that we don't have to check for NULL,
          because WinDefDlgProc processing for WM_SETICON
          will take care of it.
         ******************************/
         hIcon=WinLoadPointer(...);
         WinSendMsg(hwnd,WM_SETICON,MPFROMP(hIcon),0L);
      }
      break;
      :
   default:
      return WinDefDlgProc(hwnd,msg,mp1,mp2);
   } /* endswitch */

   return (MRESULT)FALSE;
}

I haven't tried doing this in a while (I have since gotten on the CUA kick in
a BIG way) so I'm not POSITIVE that the above code will work, but I think it
is correct (or extremely close to being correct).
