Applications which *depend* on a status/notification/whatever you want to call it area are buggy, plain and simple. AFAIK you can remove the notification area in all major free desktops so if you find an application which tries to "minimize to the status area" when the status area doesn't exist, file a bug report.
I think that we're arguing over semantics at this point. All of these applications _RUN_. If I run pidgin and there's no tray, when I close it, it exits. If there's a tray, it minimizes to the tray. There is no bug there.
When I say 'depends', I mean 'provides an adequate user experience'. If I have no way to call up pidgin other than re-launching it, I'm kind of stuck. Moblin doesn't exactly provide the means of minimizing an app either now does it? In OSX I can both 'minimize' to the right of the dock and 'hide' so that I can pull the app up again by clicking its launch icon.
How do I do the same in Moblin? When I launch pidgin or skype, what do I do with it when I'm not using it? How do I interact with it?
