Iain Inglis mentioned this problem earlier on the CPDN forum, and said that the TaskbarCreated? message needed to be implemented. (Is there an equivalent Linux KDE/Gnome event, or will this be platform specific?).

Having written a few applications that are controlled through icons in the system tray, my memory is that an application should respond to the Windows 'TaskbarCreated?' message: many applications don't - the icon disappears but the application is still running. Might this be a simple change for the BOINC people to implement?
