Sebastien,

among the 8 comments you mention there is described a workaround which
interested users (I guess every users who is interested in this bug) can
use to get what they want quickly and somewhat painlessly. They also
made clear that a fix at ubuntu level is unlikely, even if I would find
it nice to have. I don't consider this bringing no value, especially the
workaround provided. People look into bugreports for this kind of things
too until there is a nice fix released.

>- the example you mention are just opinion on the topic, there is no
reason to consider the notification area as a part of the application
rather than an indication of the fact that the application is running

There is no reason to consider the notification area icon as only an
indicator either. The guidelines might say that, but all the other
applications I use consider the notification area icon as part of the
application, then I assume this should be true for all the applications.
That's what a coerent user interface should allow you to do, and it
should be the goal of any desktop environment. Rhythmbox is an exception
to the usual user experience with applications with notification area
icon. And even if this would not have been the case, given the number of
users interested in this I'd say adding this option would make Rhythmbox
a better software.

About the "patch" you mention, I don't understand what needs to be
patched. Rhythmbox itself does not need any patch, just the plugin needs
to be included in the release (I don't care if it's from upstream or
added by ubuntu).
