Thank you for your bug report. While I can't systematically reprodocue this problem, it happens sporadically in my Win2003 machine.

On my system, XP SP1, the tooltip shows similar behaviour. When the tray icon is loaded, the tooltip shows up. When I click it away, it sometimes appears again right away. Sometimes later. Sometimes it does not. I can not reproduce the details of when it shows up again and when not. None of the applications I have in my tray shows a tooltip on startup and I am glad they don't. With 15 pieces in there I'd go crazy clicking all tooltips away ;). Any application which loads into tray is meant to be a silent one, at least for my understanding. If it shows a tooltip, it should provide some information noteworthy. Like an alert, for example. Since the tooltip does not provide any relevant information besides "I am here" I'd strongly suggest to not display a tooltip at all. The user experience should be "If there's something poping up, it's important somehow". Don't draw the user attention to "I am here" or only once when the tray icon is being loaded for the first time.
