Bug Description

when I use exaile --start-minimized (on Ubuntu Gutsy with Compiz-Fusion) exaile pops up and loads as normally and then minimizes, after loading everything. This behavior kind of makes the option useless :/
(No idea if this only happens when using Compiz...)

I am having the same issue, but I'm not using compiz, so the problem doesn't seem to be caused by it.

In 0.2.14 , From the following code fragment,

        if self.options.minim:
            try:
                self.tray_icon.toggle_exaile_visibility()
            except:
                pass
        return False

I think just the visibilty is toggled, and I think loading of main core components is not in new thread. I am not sure though.

Strangely , I dont find this piece of code in latest checkout branch bzr checkout lp:exaile(which 0.2.99.. etc)

If someone can add more info , I will see If I can fix this.

--start-minimized in 0.2.14 is a very simple implementation. Basically, it just waits until the main window has been made and then behaves as if the tray icon were clicked at the moment.

--start-minimized has not yet been implemented in the 0.3 series.

This should be okay.

I believe this could be reimplemented by toggling the visibility of the window before displaying it, if the option to use a tray icon is set to true. Assigning to bug day.
