I usually indicate remote login by changing background colour.
However, changing also the icon on-the-fly for this purpose is an 
interesting use case.
I'm considering whether to add such a feature. Note, however, that it's 
not likely to work if mintty is embedded in ConEmu.
Also, there is a design issue to solve: As absolute pathnames may not be 
too useful when addressed remotely, maybe another resource class should 
be added (in addition to themes, sounds, lang/localization). What do 
others think?
