icon persists

[mgart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Mitch Gart)]

setVisible(false) just makes the Frame invisible.
It is still alive and could later be made visible
again by a call to setVisible(true) or by the user
clicking on the inon in the task bar.  So of course
it remains in the task bar.

f.setVisible(false); f.dispose();  

should get rid of it forever.
