[MinimizeToTray] Suggestion for improvement

Hello there,

First of all, I really like your Thunderbird-Plugin MinimizieToTry.

But sadly not 100%. So I would like to explain you my improvement wish.

When I use the option "Always minimize to the tray instead of to the 
taskbar" it's behavior doesn't fit my expectations. When I use the 
windows minimize button the windows minimizes to the tray, exactly how 
it should. But when I use the Microsoft Windows shortcut for "show 
desktop" ( [win] + [d] ) it also minimizes to the tray and that 
shouldn't happen in my opinion.
Conclusion: The behavior of the MinimizeToTray plugin should be more 
like the behavior of the the eMule program.

If you don't like this suggestion than I have another one :)

It's also a function that was used in eMule, some versions ago. In the 
past eMule had an extra button in the "windows head" next to the 
minimize, maximize and close buttons, which had the function to minimize 
eMule to the tray. So you had three buttons in the "windows head" one to 
minimize to tray, one to minimize to taskbar and one to close the window.

Maybe you could implement one of these suggestions in a new version of 
your plugin. When you don't implement one of my suggestions I don't 
mind, then I have to adapt to the funcionts that are given.

Thanks and regards

Björn Hohlstein
