Ctrl+H hides Opera on Windows (at least thru 9.26)

Double-clicking the tray icon
always shows Opera (restoring window, if necessary),
although perhaps that could be changed to "toggle" the show/hide
state.

Personally, I hide the tray icon instead :)
[gave it "Always hide" property in WinXP]

Uh, nice feature. But I think I cannot learn to hide Opera instead of the  

I just use the task bar buttons (minimize/maximize),
and have no use for the extra tray icon,
which to me is like an old TV set which had one dial
for tuning channels 2-13, then a second dial for channels 14 and up,
for which the first dial had to be set to "UHF" -- one single dial
is much simpler, and one single Task Bar to switch between apps
one single way is all I want, not one "Opera" on the Task Bar
and another in the tray, nor even some apps on the task bar
and others only in the tray, even though continually active.

By the way, after an Opera crash a few minutes ago,
restarting Opera once again created a _second_ entry
in my Windows XP "Hide inactive icons" property list,
set to "hide when inactive" instead of "always hide,"
which once again caused the new unwanted entry to show up in the tray.

Can Opera not avoid doing this? (multiplying itself in that list, too);
avoiding crashing in the first place would of course be even better.
