Hmmmm would it be crazy if I propose making a different button for
minimising to the notification area? Its just if the close button means
close the program in most users mind and the minimise button means
leaving the window open but hiding it away, then what should the new
user expect to minimise into the notification area? 

On the opening rhythmbox and empathy I think the window should be opened
always and never open hidden away in the notification area.
