Bug Description
1) I use ubuntu 11.10 completely updated
2) I use onboard 0.96.2 from the stable PPA
3) In unity, when I open onboard with 'show status icon' option marked then a small icon appears in the top bar, and when I click on 'Hide onboard' button with the X mark the icon remains on the bar (that's OK). When I open with 'show status icon' unmarked then a big icon appears in the left panel (that's OK). I expected that clicking on 'Hide onboard' minimizates onboard but the icon in the left panel doesn't dissapear.
4) What happened instead: the onboard icon in the left panel dissapears, so in this case the onboard window can't be recovered and it's necesary to open a new onboard instance.
Moreover, the 'Hide onboard' icon (X) is confusing, because it's similar to classical 'close' sign. I haven't notice that that button minimizates onboard instead of closing it, and I open a new instance over and over; I didn't know but I had more than 20 onboard instances opened (12MB of RAM each one).
Please note, the classical small 'minimize' button in the window decoration worked fine with the unity left panel, it's your own 'Hide onboard' button which doesn't.

Thanks for the bug report, David. I believe I've made some progress, though Unity/gnome- shell/GTK3 are still moving targets. We may have to revisit this in the future.
Now, if floating icon, status icon and force-to-top mode are disabled, Onboard should properly show up in the launcher and can be restored from there.
This can't be done with force-to-top mode enabled, so now in this case the floating icon will show up as the last option to unhide onboard.
