I've asked Ryan Paul on IRC and I'll try to make things more clear here.

Gwibber, at least the current version, does not minimize to tray by
design. The usual behavior of an application (for example Empathy) is:

close button: hides window, keeps app running
file->quit: closes app

Gwibber, on the other hand, does the following:

close button: closes gwibber, keeps gwibber-service running
file->quit: closes both gwibber and gwibber-service.

In other words, there is no "hide to tray" option because the very
concept of "hiding" does not apply to the current version of Gwibber. It
is either open, and showing, or closed. So a "replacement" for the tray
icon would be adding a launcher to the panel.

Theoretically, the difference in user experience should be minimal (even
being closed instead of minimized, the Gwibber window is supposed to
appear instantly), but due to a couchdb-related bug Gwibber takes a long
time to open, so it's very noticeable.
