clicking in the tray icon closes *all* open windows, instead of the only coccinella main window.

Bug Description

once opened one or more chat windows, the situation will not change for a lot of time: i'll chat with those people for many minutes.

during all that time, i'll not need the coccinella main window, so it would be useful to hide it, so - for example - i will be able to use alt+tab to very-fast-switch between the various chat windows, without having to alt-tab twice every time that (mistakenly) i reach the coccinella main window.

thank you :)

While looking into this (on XP) I found another bug. If I click the
minimize button in the main window it wont be displayed when I click
the bug I expect to bring it to screen again but it wont. You need to
click the taskbar for that window. The windows state (wm state) is
'iconic' which I need to take into account.

Can you teel me your platform? If I have the main window iconified and
do Alt-Tab (XP again) there is no distinction between the coccinella
windows. This seems to be by design (Microsoft).

maybe the solution is: when you click the minimize button in XP, just hide the main window, instead of set it 'iconic'.

my platform: WinXP SP3 (but problems are present in every WinXP SP, i think)

when tabbed windows option is disabled, i have a single window for every chat.
at that point, alt-tabbing shows me the complete list of open coccinella windows, including the main window if it's displayed.
in my opinion, this works good: no need to change functionality.
