That's not too big a problem - as I can scan across the system tray - the problem is that if the mouse pointer is over the icon when I check for it's existance it can mess things up.
Is there a way to temporarily hide the pointer when over the desktop/system tray - as I check ? - the hide/showpointer commands only work with canvases.
