one thing: windows focus don't work well most of the time meaining it 
moves onlick from the systray but not in the forground depending on how 
many other windows are open - first it seemed it#s always the case, but 
sometimes it works as expected

ignoring that there are no right-click options like "close" for now
___________________________

BTW: "show desktop" and then click on a different application reverts 
the "show desktop" instead just put the one application in the forground 
a let the rest minimized - usecase:

you have open some windows, one is compose a new mail in thunderbird, 
you know ina folder-view is the intended file for attach it - "show 
desktop", klick on the compose window in the window-list -> well, all 
other open applications get restored too and the folder-view is hidden 
again :-(
