Thanks Fredrik, I coded something like this:

Gdk.Pixbuf test = new Gdk.Pixbuf ("App.ico");
 window1.Icon=test;

but this didn't work. I read the documentation but I should be sleeping 
because I didn't try to call the constructor with those parameters ;)
Now it works without any problem, and I will not use glade for assign 
the icons :)

Thanks again for all your useful information, you're helping me a lot to 
learn and improve my (little) knowledge of C#/MONO/GTK.
