I have heard that gimp 2.2 will support .ico files

this should work for now

You need an image file that GIMP can open (PNG, GIF, etc.). And you need the 
command line tool ppmtowinicon from the netpbm-tools. Now perform the 
following actions:

Open your image with GIMP.
If your image is not a square then resize the canvas with GIMP.
Scale the image to 16x16 pixel (Image, Scale image).
Choose File, save as.. and save as favicon.pnm with raw encoding.
Close GIMP
Convert favicon.pnm using the command line utility ppmtowinicon:

#ppmtowinicon -output favicon.ico favicon.pnm
