Could you elaborate on why you didn't like it? Here's my rationale for proposing the closing/hiding behaviour:I think the way most people use music players is - start the player, choose the song, and close the window. Basically, the player window's only functionality is to allow choosing the song and managing playlists, etc. So throughout the application's use, the window remains largely unused. Also, because Pantheon supports a multiple workspace layout, our users might be in a different workspace from where they started the music player when they need to bring up the window again (perhaps to change a song). Clicking on the Noise icon on the dock would take them back to the other workspace, when all they wanted to do was to quickly select a song and get back to their work. Hiding and un-hiding the window could make the window show on the current workspace.
Of course this behaviour could be implemented for all apps while sticking to minimize by changing the dock's behaviour as Daniel had suggested some time back, but this would not integrate well with other DEs. This also raises the general design question: Should applications intended to be run mostly in the background (think torrent clients, instant messaging) be bound to a particular workspace?
