OK,

This was not issue of the TTrayIcon at all,..

First I forgot the Release Compiling option so Brake points did not work...

And couple other issues that I did not see coming...

If I had code like this

Self.WindowsState := wsMinimized;
Self.Visible := False;

And then I had in TrayIcon event

if not Self.Visible then
begin
   .. Show the form here
end;

The Seems that form thought it would be visible even I set it False just 
before...

So I took the If out of there, so it works... (Did not check 
WindowsState, maybe that would work???)

And then the final Gotcha...

I added Start Minimized Functionality to Program and if I set minimize 
the Form and set visible to False on Forms.OnCreate Event. Form never 
comes back again.

I made Hack to start timer with Short delay, and do the minimizing of 
the Form there. After the form has been shown, then it works...

Not sure are these bugs, (In FPC/Lazarus level or even Windows) or how I 
could hide the Window without showing the Glimpse of it before...

And if I set forms Visible to False, one could think you can trust it 
stays that way ;)

I can file bug reports if thse seems to be bugs...
