But from the user's point of view the result is the same. The window is gone.

No, I was proposing:

* Without the tray icon, pressing close makes the window go away. It can be re-shown by restarting the program.

* With the tray icon, pressing close makes the window go away. It can be re-shown by either restarting the program, or clicking on that tray icon.

I have just discovered a couple of inconsistencies in my patch so far:

1. Restarting the program in that second case would lead to two copies running, rather than re-showing the window from the first process. I should fix that.

2. Maybe my new logic for the tray icon should also apply if the IconPalette window is used.
