Hi all,

Soon after installing mint 11 I started facing the issue where some applications when closed did not minimized to tray but was still running. Skype, Pidgin are the two that I have faced this issue.

The solution is two-folds, first ensure you have notification area added to your system tray. Then goto System > Administration > Compiz Fusion Icon

A new icon should now show up for the Compiz Fusion, right click and then select -
Select Window Manager > Metacity

After some screen flickers everything started working fine for me hope it does the same for you too

take care,
