How to make a program minimize to the tray instead of closin

I have GAIM installed which is a nice little app. However it has to stay open in my bottom tray. Is there away to make it minimize to the small icon tray by the clock like it does in Windows? I keep disconnecting from it on accident.

What you have to do is make a little room on your system tray, & drag the GAIM icon from the desktop to the empty space on the system tray. Then it will be there at start up & your buddy list won't clog up your bottom tray. :)
