[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 752033] Re: Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play button is pressed

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Good thinking, Dylan.

I agree it would be more consistent if the player could start playing
without its window opening in this situation.

I guess that would require introducing, and evangelizing, some new API
(or even something as simple as a standard command-line option?) for a
player to start up hidden and playing.

Title:
  Music player should not show its main window if it launches when play
  button is pressed

Status in Sound Menu:
  New
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-sound

  When my music player is not running, the sound menu still keeps its
  music controls to keep things tidy. However, when I press the Play
  button, the player's main window opens! This is improper, because it
  is inconsistent with pressing Play or Pause from the menu when the
  player is already running and it is inconsistent with our presentation
  of the music player as a service. A user pressing this button should
  not expect the player's main window to appear.
