That's obviously up to the window manager, but there's a difference between 
hidden and closed windows.  Closed windows should not appear in the taskbar, 
so try close()ing it instead.  (Of course, don't use destructive close, 
neither let the app quit if the last main window closes.)

This is certainly wrong.  You get a hideEvent *because* hide() was called.  No 
need to call it again.
