Summary: Windows tray icon not removed after crash

Initial Comment:
In Windows 7, open an instance of pythonwin. A small green snake appears in the windows tray in the taskbar.

Run this one-line program in pythonwin: "while True: pass". It will begin processing and never return. Force close the application.

bug: In the windows tray, the green snake still appears until you mouse over it, at which time it disappears.

This happens reliably every time after a program crash.
