I've almost solved the problem now thanks to Marcus who has reported this 
problem on the web forum and tested the debug version.

For some reason the call to Shell_NotifyIcon() used to register the icon 
with the Taskbar/Shell/Explorer fails during logon when OpenVPN GUI is 
started from the "Run" reg-key on some systems.

The last_error message Shell_NotifyIcon() returns is:

This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

In my latest debug version [*] I made OpenVPN GUI re-attempt to register 
the icon up to five times with a second delay in between and Marcus says 
that this version always works for him, usually on 2:nd or 3:de attempt.

The only explaination I can see is that explorer.exe simply hasn't 
initialized itself compleatly at the time OpenVPN GUI is started and 
that's why it can't handle the Shell_NotifyIcon() within reasonable time.

Unless anybody can come up with any other explaination / solution, I'll 
simply solve this by making OpenVPN GUI re-attempt registring the icon up 
to 10 times with a second delay. If it still fails, I'll show an error 
dialog and terminate. Any objections?

Cheers - Mathias
