Given that bug 954183 (bio 749) is now fixed (thanks!!) it no longer seems necessary to have a minimize button on the Contacts window, as it is confusing to have the Contacts window minimized to the taskbar *and* to the tray at the same time.

In fact it is more than confusing, as when the Contacts window is minimized, clicking on the tray icon currently hides/restores a minimized-to-taskbar window, which is a bit weird.

There are many valid behaviors: "Close to tray", "Minimize to tray", plus supporting both of the those; also if you disable the tray icon: you very well might want to minimize the window.

Perhaps you want to check off the option to minimize to tray when both closing and minimizing?

It doesn't bother me personally as it's always clear what's going on (Bug 954302 (bio 869) is more annoying as it is strangely intermittent). But people get confused by these things...
