It was this way in the past, but I just checked a more recent previous 
version and you are right, the application icon was not used in the 
message dialogs.  There was a recent bug fix in wxMessageDialog that may 
be the cause of this: before the fix the dialog would stay on top of all 
windows for all of the running apps, not just the windows from the app 
that displayed the message dialog.  The fix was to make it be only on 
top of the same app.  I don't know the details of the change but it 
could be that a different system API is used and so different system 
semantics for the icon come into play.  Please enter a bug report about 
this (category="wxMac specific") and we'll see if there is a way to have 
both the icon matching the parameter and also only be on top of the same 
app.
