A fix is possible. The workaround of restarting jdownloader.exe is not really a good solution. It is not an acceptable solution if JD is minimized to the tray.

When Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) creates the taskbar (which includes the system tray), it sends a message to every top level window where the Message name string is TaskbarCreated (looks like a null terminated byte string).

If there is an accessible message pump, this is easy to catch, and the Tray icon should be redisplayed.
