Yes, I want to hide the window when it's on my screen (i.e. even if it's 
hidden under tenthousands of other windows), not bring it to front. If you 
want to make it top, click the taskbar-button of that window but don't abuse 
the systray for it. I don't like the idea of removing taskbar-buttons for 
windows with a systray-icon either.
I don't see the systray as a taskbar-replacement but as an addon to hide/show 
windows fast and get access to the most needed functions by pressing RMB.

Bye, Stefan aka mETz
