It can be turned on and off, but I haven't found an option to configure 
"minimize to tray" yet.

Hmm, as far a I can tell it already does.
Kopete is the odd man out and I filed a bug report for that:

Why would closing the window only close one document and not close the window?
That's what close tab/subwindow is for.

"Close" always closes window, last window quits application.
