Configuration
Using Clementine in a minimal environment
By default Clementine stay in background when the main window is closed. This background state is kept for the next startup.
This behavior can cause issues for users using a minimal environment without system tray agent and notification bar. In this case the application can stay stuck in background at startup. You must remove the .config/Clementine/ directory to recover the initial background state.
In this environment it is better to change the default configuration by going in `Tools -> Preferences -> Behavior and then uncheck Keep running in background`.
