My bad - you're right, it's not a preference, it does the same thing
as clicking on the tray icon.  On my computer, the behaviour is
(assuming the main window is open to start):
- click the tray icon, window disappears
- click the tray icon again, window appears
- maximize window, window maximizes
- click the tray icon, window disappears
- click the tray icon again, window appears in a maximized state
This seems reasonable, although it the right click->show music player
box might be a little redundant.

Hmm, I didn't realize it was a normal thing for music players to do.
Come to think of it, it might be a bit confusing that hovering over
the "x" in Rhythmbox brings up a "Close Window" tooltip, when it
performs the same function as Music->Quit instead of Music->Close.
