The only strange thing I notice is that this icon_white that you attached looks
awfully much like a BLACK knight...

Which is OK, as this is the icon we want. In Debian packages the icon is
distributed as an .xpm file. I don't know if that is mandatory, or that any
graphical format would do. I put the pixmap of the icon that I distribute
with the binary Debian packages in git, (pixmaps/xboard.xpm), and pushed
it to hgm.nubati, so it is accessible to everyone. But I think it is the same
image as the one you attached (although I am not 100% sure about the
size).
