Maybe it might be benefit users that ekiga doesn't close when you click X and just hides in the background since it is a voip/sip application that needs to be running for you to receive calls and instant messages. For example I know that in gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 that the empathy client is always running in background even when the client hasn't been selected from home menu. Because of that fact its very convenient, as when ever someone sends me an Instant Message in Google talk I am able to answer from gnome, which is absolutely fantastic feature. So I think ekiga minimizing or hiding in background when clicking X can be a good thing just like empathy client in gnome 3.

This is an interesting point. I will not determine anything.
aMule will also exit when clicking on the close button.
VLC and XChat a very popular and they seem to be software which are
worth to follow.
Gajim, Claw-Mail, Liferea, Pino, StarDict, TransmissionBT and Xfce Task
Manager will hide on close. Some programs have an option for this.
This argument can be expanded to the context menu of the systray.
Some applications have fixed position for the popup menus (Ekiga,
Liferea, TransmissionBT, VLC) and some are opening the menu from where
the cursor is (aMule, Gajim, Claw-Mail, Pino, StarDict, Vidalia).
* Until version 1.8.0 Liferea used to have its menu position in accord
to the location of the cursor.
I have no opinion in these matters.
