I spoke too soon.  Startup is good now; pan starts in the tray as it 
should, but...

There's no way to get it BACK to the tray (only).

Minimize-to-tray... doesn't.  Pan's window remains in the window-list, 
alt-tab-list, etc, minimized.  With minimize to tray checked, the main 
window should disappear from those lists too, only the systray icon 
should remain.

There's still no close to tray option.  With such an option, checked, the 
window-manager-close function should close (or hide) the window, but keep 
pan running in the tray.  (Again, wm-close simply closes the window, not 
the app, which with the close to tray option checked, should still be 
running in the tray.  That's distinct from the app's quit option, in the 
file and systray icon menus, which quit the app.)

Clicking the tray icon used to close the pan main window, but ONLY if 
that pan main window was active.  It SHOULD close the window ALL the 
time, whether pan's main window is active or not.  It NOW doesn't seem to 
do ANYTHING, whether the window's active or not.

So while pan STARTS in the tray now (an improvement), once the tray icon 
is clicked to open the main window, it's impossible to get the main 
window closed again, without quitting pan entirely, closing the window 
AND removing pan from the systray. =:^(  At least the way it was, one 
could make sure pan's main window was active, then click the tray icon, 
and the main window would close, keeping pan in the tray.  Now even that 
doesn't work. =:^(
