No, I have not changed the window handling (yet).

The next thing I want to do is to start PTBatcherGUI minimized to the
tray.

I did not notice that, I do not switch Desktop usually.  Will try and see what 
can be done.

Yes, when *I* am adding new features I try not to remove existing ones and 
leave users the option to fall back on their tried and tested features.  There 
is always an inherent conflict between new and old.  I try not to get into 
such conflict.  When I do, I try to discuss this first with as many stake 
holders as possible.  The decision to make PTBatcherGUI the default stitch 
engine happened on Hugin-PTX, because the change of default does change the 
world to some of us.  At some point hugin_stitch_project will be discontinued, 
but that's only after users like you are happy to make the switch to 
PTBatcherGUI.  Sometimes this kind of ideal change management is not possible 
- e.g. the effort to maintain the legacy behavior is too big.  But it was not 
the case with this change.

Title:
  PTBatcherGUI annoying window handling

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  With 2011.2.0 the old <Stich Now!> is gone, I am using PTBatcherGUI
  instead.

  The window handling is very annoying. The main autobatcher window and
  the progress window are automatically if switch to another virtual
  desktop and back again.

  It would also be very nice if closing the hugin apllication would
  close (the not manually started) PTBatcherGUI instance, too.
