Newbie question - Service and NotifyIcon

I am a VB.Net newbie who has written a little test Windows Service which
puts a NotifyIcon in the system tray. I am finding that it works fine if I
start the Service manually whilst logged in on the server (icon appears). If
I allow the service to start automatically at boot time, the service starts
OK but I don't get the icon in the system tray when I log in. If I stop the
service and restart it whilst logged in, the icon appears.

Is this intended behaviour? Do I have to add some code to my Service to look
for newly-logged-in desktops to add the NotifyIcon to?

Any hints appreciated...

Regards

--Jim.
