That's correct. But if the user chooses the "Show system tray on new 
mail" mode then KMail's behavior on clicking the X button will be 
inconsistent/confusing because if there are no unread messages (and 
therefore no systray icon) then KMail would be terminated and if there 
are unread messages (and therefore also the systray icon) then KMail 
would just be hidden. I don't know whether that's a desirable behavior.

If OTOH the user uses the "Always show system tray" mode then KMail 
should behave like the style guide says.

I cc'ed kde-usability for advice how to proceed in the "Show system tray 
on new mail" case. Please send all replies also to the bug report 
(63480@bugs.kde.org).

Regards,
Ingo
