When you hit the stop button, move your mouse over the icon in the System
Tray and it will dissapear.

The stop button kills your app and so does not clean up the NotifyIcons Icon
as you told it to skip everything and just stop.

Would you prefer that when you hit the stop button that it tried to clean
up? In that case there would be no difference to terminating your app
cleanly.
