[PyQt] QSystemTrayIcon not working with py2exe

[Sebastian Elsner]

Hey,

Ok here is the solution: If I use a png with pyrcc it works, whereas it  
does not when using an ico file wit pyrcc. Using an ico works when not  
using pyrcc and but copying the pyqtdir/plugins/imageformats to the py2exe  
distribution folder.

This is weird. Any explanation?
