main window cannot be brought back when hidden

If you use gossip and hide the main window (for example by accident with ESC, when you're a vi user) and don't use the notification area, there is no way to bring the main window back. I would suggest to either not hide the main window when there's no notification area (I wonder if this can be checked? Whether or not the notification icon for gossip exists on the screen?) or minimize the window instead of hiding it.
I think it is possible, I had some hack in drwright to detect when the notification area is missing. It should be a quick hack to just remove the menu item when there is no notification area.
Created attachment 65192 [details] [review] Shows window when there's no tray and doesn't allow further hiding. And makes ESC use app_toggle_visibility().
I think the patch also fixes #132632.
Committed, this is great, thanks for the patch, most appreciated!
