How to change the icon for the matplotlib 'configure subplot' window?

I found that matplotlib's NavigationToolbar2Tk 'configure plot' window is being pulled from widgets.py

for ref: https://matplotlib.org/2.0.2/mpl_examples/pylab_examples/subplot_toolbar_01.pdf

The title for this window is Click on slider to adjust subplot param

Please advice me how to change its icon from default tkinter icon.

    self.axleft = toolfig.add_subplot(711)
    self.axleft.set_title('Click on slider to adjust subplot param')
    self.icon = self.resource_path('icon.ico')
    self.axleft.icon_bitmap = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(self.icon))
    self.axleft.wm_iconbitmap(self.icon)
    self.axleft.set_navigate(False)

I changed the above code starting in line 1115 in widgets.py. Here self.resource_path is a method I created to find the icon's path.

But getting error as subplots don't have the method wm_icon_bitmap

As @ImportanceOfBeingErnest pointed out.. I had to modify the configure_subplots method in _backend_tk.py. Used the wm_icon_bitmap method for the Toplevel widget.

def configure_subplots(self):
    toolfig = Figure(figsize=(6,3))
    window = Tk.Toplevel()
    icon = self.resource_path('icon.ico')
    window.icon_bitmap = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(icon))
    window.wm_iconbitmap(icon)
    canvas = type(self.canvas)(toolfig, master=window)
    toolfig.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
    canvas.tool = SubplotTool(self.canvas.figure, toolfig)
    canvas.draw()
    canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)
    window.grab_set()
