@Alberto: It shouldn't be in the launcher for the same reason that no other background tasks should stay there. Maybe some people would like to keep it as a launcher, but I really don't see the need for that. (The normal use case would be to run it on logon.) I guess bringing it up via keyboard shortcut could have it in the launcher as a running task, but it shouldn't be there when it's running in the background.
