Note that minimising to system tray (at least by using the standard  
minimise or close buttons) is a behaviour rather frowned upon by  
GNOME's usability folks, however :)

Minimise buttons should minimise, and close buttons should close.  If  
you want to add a button that does something else, then fine, do that  
and call it something else.  But please don't make the minimise or  
close buttons do things they're not supposed to...

Cheeri,
Calum.
