If you use TrayIt the program is still running, but just not in the foreground. If you doubleclick the icon in the system tray it will open up, not sure what happens if you just launch the program again.

Outside applications (like the official Android and iOS remotes) couldn’t interact with them. Any attempt by users to run XBMC as a server were hamstrung by the fact that you couldn’t actually control most of the server features without physically launching the XBMC GUI.
This refactor separated settings from the GUI, so now all of those obstacles can easily be overcome. In addition, because settings are no longer dependent on the GUI, we can do a lot of interesting things that were not previously possible."

I for one welcome this as I run all my server stuff from a tiny cubox (1GB ram) and currently the only thing I can't do without booting up one of the main machines is scrape new content and add to the library (MYSQL, which is on the server). So running a small headless version would be a bit neater than having to do WOL stuff.

Hi I`ve tried Tray-It, but I can`t make it find XBMC at all. Tried in both Windowed mode and true full screen.
Is there any tricks I can try?
