Oh my, what a bad workaround. I totaly understand that this behavior is
confusing for some people and admittedly it confused my wife (Until I
explained the feature and showed her how to disable it.)

This "bug" solution only creates yet another problem... Now _nobody_ can
start RB minimized, including all the people who actually liked this
_feature_ (It's not a bug, it's by design and many people liked this
behavior.)

Couldn't we just set this feature to be disabled by default that could
be if the user wanted to, rather than breaking the feature all together?

This bug's "solution" is the cause of this unanswerable question:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/125224/how-do-i-hide-rhythmbox-to-just-
show-a-tray-icon

Also countless other Google results if you search for "How do I start
Rhythmbox minimized?" || "How do I start Rhythmbox in
quiet/silent/hidden mode?"

Title:
  Rhythmbox should never start minimised to tray

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Fix Released
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  Fix Released
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  I have noticed that RB remembers whether it was minimised to tray when
  it closed, and starts in the same state. Some users might find that
  confusing, however. My mother does actually, sometimes she opens RB to
  listen to her music and she doesn't realise that small white square on
  the notification area, so she thinks the program didn't start
  properly.

  I think RB should NEVER start minimised to tray, unless it's specified
  through a command option.
