Bug#641463: [boinc-client] boinc client window refuses to close / minimise to system tray

Package: boinc-client
Version: 6.12.33+dfsg-1.1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

In the past trying to close the boinc client window would close the window, leaving just a system tray icon (or possibly even nothing while still running). Now it won't: clicking the 'x' button just minimises the window and the window can't be closed without stopping BOINC tasks on the computer. I find this annoying... :-/

Didn't see any other bugs posted, so is this happening to other users? I presume it's "functionality" built into the client.
