This only affects applications which use the system tray as an
alternative to minimising *and* don't check that there actually is a
system tray to use.  This is nothing like all applications.

As Thomas said, this has nothing to do with the window manager.  The
window manager sends the WM_DELETE message to the application when the
user presses on the Close button, at that point it's the applications
choice of what to do.  If the application decides that the right thing
to do is to hide the window and attempt to show an icon in the
non-existent system tray, then that application is buggy.

Clearly Liferea in the Moblin store should be patched so that it doesn't
attempt to use the system tray, because we don't have one.
