Summary
When launching the example "desktop/systray" on Qt 4.7 for Windows XP, everything works as expected. However, if I run the release file (systray.exe, with needed .dll files) independent of Qt, none of the icons load from the compiled resource file.

Details
The pull-down menu is missing the icons entirely and, if minimized to the system tray, a blank spot will show where an icon should be displayed.

(I searched the forum first for a couple days without finding a working solution.)
