When I was at TurboPower we struggled with precisely this question in desgining the "Tray Icon" component for SysTools (the component was later shifted to the ShellShock product). Some folks wanted it one way, some the other and it was not a clear win for either side, so we elected to make it optional. I don't recall precisely how we did it (I'd have to dig out the StTrIcon.pas code to review), but it's possible.
