Just a couple of ideas:

Create Your icon in the application OnIdle event that way Your 
app will be fully created before You create Your Icon.
OnIdle is called more then once so You need to set a flag when
Your icon is created or if You dont use OnIdle for anything else
You can set Application->OnIdle = 0; when You are done.

or as You mention use a timer with intervall set to e.g. 100 
then start it in WM_CREATE, it will not return until Your app is 
fully created, because it fires using a message which Your app
will not process before it is free to do so.

Kind regards
Asger
