Very good point! If it just displayed as its windows icon you could mistake it 
for some normal linux app/data and not realise that you are moving an 
insecure file with all the dangers inherent in windows into a safe system. If 
you had crossover or wine on your system you would throwing away all the 
benefits of linux security with one click of the mouse and not even know you 
were doing it.  
No, windows executable need a generic obvious icon and I've just changed mine 
to the skull and crossbones :-)
