Minimize vs. close on Pocket PC [message #443460]

The Pocket PC platform is a little strange in that tapping the "X"
decoration in the top-right corner of the window causes the
application to minimise, not close. The built-in Pocket PC apps then
work such that if a new instance of the same app is opened, it simply
restores the previous minimised instance. My SWT app, however, opens
another instance of the same application. I'm sure every Pocket PC
application has run into this problem, so what's the generally
accepted solution? How difficult is it to modify my app to behave
like a "normal" Pocket PC app and restore the previous instance?
Alternatively, should I just capture the minimise event and close the
window?

Thanks in advance,
Shaun
