I am referring to being able to dock a program to the panel or system
tray without closing. I thought that was the definition of
minimizing. Otherwise, why have a hypen (-) and an X on a window if
they do exactly the same thing - that is close out the program
completely? Some programmers make dumb decisions, in my opinion, and I
can't see how taking away that functionality makes for a cleaner
desktop. But thanks for the comments on which Linux desktops might do
what I'm requesting. --Jerry
