Bug Description
Hi,
I am using Onboard with the joggler tablet PC.
My use case involves intermittent use of Onboard. It is visible briefly, for example to enter a web address, then closed while I click round that web site. The tray icon is a great way to toggle the visibility of the on screen keyboard, however I find that I often click the close button on Onboard's window out of habit. This closes the window and, unexpectedly, removes the tray icon.
The attached patch simply hides the main window in this case, and the tray icon remains.

Hi Toby,
Thanks for your interest in onboard and especially thanks for the patch.
Unfortunately, I don't like your approach very much because the behaviour of the close button depends on the visibility of the tray icon.
Would a solution to the following bug not also help with your problem? /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/onboard/ +bug/564040

I am aware that it does not directly solve your problem, but I assume that once there is a bigger "hide"-button available, it should not take long for you to get the habit to use that hide button to hide onboard.
Another solution that might suit you could come with the implementation of rfe-bug: /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/onboard/ +bug/443986

Please, let me know if you would like to help us with one of these two bugs, because in that case I will start a discussion with the other maintainers about where to place the big hide button or how the automatic showing and hiding should behave.
Thanks again for your interest in onboard.
