SystemTray TrayIcon Doesn't Work as Vista Service, ok as XP Service

So TrayIcon is in AWT, so someone here should be up on this, right? It seems like there has been many more questions than answers:

In my case, my application, wrapped as an exe and started as a service used the com.jeans.trayicon package. Works great in XP, but no icon in Vista. Okay, the "right" way is to use java.awt.TrayIcon. Works great in XP, but no icon in Vista.

I'm thinking I should post in the JVM forum, maybe?
