i say go with what Mark suggested[1] - to use seperate designs for the two cases:
* perhaps a hollow red circle on the button for "hide window"

* the red button with the X for "close & quit"

The WM only needs to know, if the app is about to quit upon click, or not, in order to draw the correct frame.
