An option to set what the close button does (close/minimize) is all it
takes. Several programs have that option both on Linux and Windows. If
you want to follow the advice of the usability crowd don't enable this
option.

I'm using alltray and have edited the menu to open Evo in the tray (or
is it called notification area these days?) using alltray.

Personally I do not not care who frowns of what as long as it works for
me! :)
