--- Comment #7 from Daniele E. Domenichelli <daniele.domenichelli at gmail.com> ---
To close the window you can just call the quit() method in the
org.kde.ktp-contactlist service /MainApplication object org.kde.KApplication
interface if the service exists on dbus, otherwise start it, and it's actually
quite easy to do. The problem is that hiding/showing is different from starting
closing an application, it's slower (models are reloaded, etc), you don't get
the animations (so the user won't realise that the window is closed) and i'm
not sure if the status of the window is restored exactly as it was before
closing. I'm not really sure if this is a good idea, but I'm not against it, if
this isn't the default behaviour and someone wants to do it...

I'm marking it as a Junior Job, because the implementation should be quite
trivial
