Bug Description

Now on clicking the [X] on the window Thunderbird quits . I'm pretty sure it would be much better to have TB hide on clicking the [X] (much like Rhythmbox does) , because I (and maybe many others) prefer having TB in the background .

Maybe if the Firetray extension is bundled by default, this could be easily fixed.

I love the irony in this bug report. We're trying to get Unity to stop keeping apps like Rhythmbox running when they're closed, and here we are trying to get Thunderbird to keep going :)

Normally adding new software to the CD is outwith the scope of a paper cut, but in this case it seems like it will be beneficial, and certainly a lot easier than patching TB to do this itself. I'll take this into the Ubuntu Desktop and Development mailing lists and see what they think.

Re comment #4, found email in archive but doesn't seem to
have been discussed. So marking Papercuts task as "Won't Fix'

Upstream bug was marked as a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208923
which is also linked to LP: #376715 so marking this bug as
a duplicate of that one to close.
