6303746: PIT: ActionEvent is not at all triggered when clicking TrayIcon message on Win2000
(As per the evaluation of this bug, Win2000 does not support triggering of action event when clicking on the display message. Hence the specification must explicitly say that this may not be supported on some platforms.)
