Shouldn't this be:

bitmap = wx.Bitmap("%s;%s" % (exe_name, 0), wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP)

?

Looking at the wiki, it seems that the ";number" declaration is
something zero-based. To specify the ID of the icon (like you did in
your sample), you need to use the *negated* id number, but in this
case you should change your ID from 1 to something else (i.e., 4) and
use:

bitmap = wx.Bitmap("%s;%s" % (exe_name, -4), wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP)

Does it work in this way?

Andrea.
