I'm not proposing doing anything right now (these are new features),
but I think a daemon-like behavior on Windows would make sense, even
if we're not talking of a true Windows service (which would bring
little benefit, other than automatic (re)starting, for quite a lot of
added complexity).
The cool thing would be to have a Windows Emacs server start as a
systray app. I'd love for Emacs not to use space in the taskbar, just
in the tray, until I bring it forward with emacsclient. David De La
Harpe Golden proposed as much back in August (though he was talking
about GNU/Linux, I think).
As a lesser alternative, an Emacs server could simply hide its taskbar
button(s) when minimized, at least initially.
Not really related, but still: why does Emacs on Windows not handle
WM_(QUERY)ENDSESSION messages? There was discussion in July 2006 (in a
thread called "Exit hooks not run at logout on w32"), with no clear
consensus emerging on what to do.
