Imo programs hiding in the systray when you click on the close button 
are a really bad idea, if I click on "close this program", I expect it 
to close, not to hide. Hiding the program in the tray icon when you 
click on the icon makes sense though I think. The only way to make it 
optional which would make sense would be a gconf key, but I don't think 
it's a good idea, it would be much better to have a HIG for the system 
tray and make all the apps behave identically ;)

The 0.9 branch tries to automatically detect new files added to 
directories present in the library.

Sounds like the often requested "play queue" where you can add songs to 
play, reorder them, ...
