I agree with David. Fix the bug with Rhythmbox opening in the last state, and let's do that very soon. It's been around for two years, which is far too long.
I don't agree that minimize should minimize to the notification area, and close should close the program for those particular applications. We'd only be creating another problem - people would expect it to minimize to the window list/dock/whatever they're using for window management, like all other programs. I think because these particular apps are designed to run in the background and are used often when multitasking, we should keep the close button minimizing to the notification area unless they specifically choose "Quit."
