[PyQt] Since 5.10 system tray icon cannot be hidden in Windows

[Marius Shekow]

Hi,

what happens if you use an "old" 5.9 PyQt version where you replace only 
the Qt DLL files from a newer installation (5.11 for example)? Maybe 
you're not aware that it is possible to use newer Qt DLLs with older 
PyQt bindings - of course newer functionality won't be supported.

If hiding the icon works in this case, you know that PyQt is at fault. 
If it doesn't work, then Qt is at fault. You will have to learn C++ to 
convince the Qt team to move their arse by building a minimal example then.

Regards!
Marius
