Severity: wishlist

This is probably something to upstream, but I figured I'd start it here 
and let you upstream it if it sounds reasonable.

I've noticed that some applications "minimize" themselves to the 
Notification Area applet through different mechanisms. Gaim (while not a 
GNOME program) goes to the Notification Area if you click on the "Close" 
Window Manager widget, whereas rhythmbox and gnome-cd do this when you 
click the "Minimize" widget.

Looking through the HIG, there doesn't appear to be a section addressing 
this kind of behavior. An appropriate place would probably be in 
desktop-integration.html, under the "Using the Status Notification Area" 
section. Preferably, for the sake of consistency, there should be an 
entry mandating which widget should be used for minimizing to the 
Notification Area.

Like I said, this is probably something for upstream. But I feel more 
comfortable filing bugs with Debian maintainers and letting them 
upstream it if they feel it's necessary.
