It is never ignored. WHen running as a service, you will only see it if
ou check the box "allow service to interact with desktop", and this can
only be done on Local System services (thus not postgresql) So in this
case, the end effect will be that you can't see it. But you will most
definitly see it when running it from the commandline (say, when you are
debugging why it won't start..)
