I thought about this some more. I think it's problematic if this stays
as such an isolated case in Gnome window management as it is today.
E.g., when I have discovered this feature (against all odds), can I then
apply this knowledge to other windows and click their Close button to
minimize them to the "tray" (notification area, in fact)?

If Nautilus alone is going to use this, then it definitely has to try
and integrate more consistently. Wouldn't it make more sense, then, if
the file copy window had no close or maximize buttons, but only a
minimize button which would minimize the window to the notification
area?

I understand that it saves on clutter in the panel's window list applet,
but one thing I resent is that now I can't see the copy progress without
mouse action (grabbing, moving, clicking). In the old version, the fill
status of the button in the window list would give an indication by just
looking. Maybe the notification area icon could at least show an overall
progress in some way.
