The status window could operate in a more user friendly way.

A) If the window is miniaturized and the systray icon is clicked, it currently makes the window hidden. It ought to unminiaturize the window instead.

B) Left clicking on the applet, which looks exactly like the systray icon, ought to do the same thing as left clicking on the systray icon. That is, it should toggle the visibility of the status window.

C) As a side benefit of (B) being implemented, the systray icon would now be superfluous if the applet is running and it could automatically hide itself. That would save many people grief over the "why do I have so many sheep and why do they look the same but act differently" problem.

D) It would be very nice if the "Always On Visible Workspace" flag was settable in the preferences, just like "Always On Top" is now. Currently, when I switch workspaces, my status window disappears.

E) The WorkRave logo looks very much like "The Super Sheep" from the Defender's Quest video game. Coincidence, no doubt, but might I suggest that there is potential there for an Easter egg, if Rob or Raymond felt like implementing something fun. :-)
