I see now that you weren't necessarily talking about this entire feature request, simply the part about hiding the app from the window list. This became apparent after reviewing other apps with similar functionality in Linux - who all can minimize to tray exclusively, but when raised typically appear in the window list. Perhaps the sentiment you expressed is why? In any case, I wouldn't have a problem with compromising, though I'd still prefer the option to hide it from the window list.
