Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
Start Clementine(https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/clementine/).
Minimize it to Launcher.
From Tray icon, click and choose 'Activate' (To show up the main window)
Minimize Clementine Main window.
From Tray icon, click and choose 'Activate' ((To show up the main window)
It doesn't restore or minimize to tray. (Just the icon buzzes in the launcher).

I, many times, forget where actually my player is and thus I simply hit the tray icon and click activate.
Giving the user two possible places to hide the window to complicates it. I think it can be; either to minimize it to launcher or to tray all the times, or make the 'Activate' item the ability to show up all Clementine windows from where ever they are.

IMHO, not giving the 'Activate' item the ability to restore window if minimized negates the hoped smooth experience.
Also, I guess if it ended with having the 'Activate' item to be enabled only if window(s) minimized to tray but not to launcher, otherwise disabled, would not make it easier.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to report this, however a paper cut should only be reported for packages affecting the apps shipped on the Ubuntu Desktop CD.
