Doesn't remove Buddy list from Taskbar when minimized

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable plugin
2. Minimize Buddy list
3. Buddy list still visible for taskbar icon

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Without this module, the Buddy list are removed from the taskbar icon when 
minimized. Then, with only one chat window, I can just single click on the icon 
to bring the chat window to the front, now that is no longer possible.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Pidgin 2.7.11
pidgin-win7 0.4

Please provide any additional information below.

This is by design.  The Win7 taskbar icon is supposed to replace the system 
tray icon (according to the windows spec), the overlay icon also ties into the 
buddy list.  If you definitely still want to hide the buddy list on 
close/minimise, you'll need to turn off the "Show status overlay icon" setting.

Thanks for a quick reply, your tip sorted that out. I mainly use Pidgin for IRC 
and old chat account that I hardly use anymore (to avoid bloating when having 
to have all those dedicated clients started).

The jumplist is great as I now can hide the tray icon and quickly be able to 
get the chat group window to front or reach the buddy menus from the jumplist 
the few times I need them.
