The list of entries in the reference module has a windowreferencecontrol (the little box) which looks something like this:
<windowreferencecontrol name="open">
<bounds>0,0,12,12</bounds>
<icon>
<normal>button_openwindow</normal>
<pressed>button_openwindow</pressed>
</icon>
<class>weapon</class>
<description>
<field>name</field>
</description>
</windowreferencecontrol>
As you found, the class tag needs to be changed so it doesn't point to a weapon window (with a type of 'weapon') but to your new window.
One of the key things to understand here (and apologies if you already know this) is that the file names don't matter, it is the windowclass names which are important: if you copied adventure_weapons.xml into a new file called adventure_equipment.xml, changed the new file layout but didn't rename the windowclasses, then you have just created two (conflicting) versions of a weapon window, not a new window to show equipment items.
To be completely explicit, adventure_weapons.xml contains a windowclass which begins as follows:
<windowclass name="weapon">
<frame>charsheet</frame>
This needs to be replaced in the new file with:
<windowclass name="equipment">
<frame>charsheet</frame>
It is this windowclass name that is used in the little box definition in the reference module.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, so please ask more questions if I haven't made it clear!
