You should only need to do the right-click->show music player action once (to set the preference), and after that all you need to do is click on the tray icon to show/hide the main window, just as you said. If yours doesn't work this way, then that's weird... what distro/desktop environment/rhythmbox version are you using?
I think the reason iTunes behaves that way is because that's how all (or most) programs on mac os work - clicking on the "x" just closes the window and leaves the application running. I'm not sure how many other music programs behave this way, but I haven't run into any (although I'll admit I really only use rhythmbox).
