It is a visible hint to the user that the tray icon exists, and the program
is still running. Rather than some bland text I thought maybe it was better
just to display a status bubble.

Okay, I understand how my idea was a little counter-intuitive, please consider
the attached patch.

Don't bother showing a status message when returning to the system tray,
but still show a one time tray message to indicate to the user that the
program is still running in the tray if they triggered the window manager
close button.
