Not sure where you've heard there are problems with using Jenkins and processes that start GUIs when using a service - all you should need to do is make sure that the service has had the "interact with desktop" turned on which (if I recall correctly means that you need an actual user account to run it as - as opposed to the "local system account" option)
Sorry for being hazy but it has been a while and not in front of my machine at the moment.
