Comment 2 for bug 584119

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?

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:

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.
