Behavior of applications when the icon in systray is clicked

I really like the icons in the systray. I click them a lot to get access to the programs that are running (some examples: pidgin, last.fm, banshee, transmission, etc). However, one thing that bugs me a lot is the fact that when the icon in the systray is clicked, the default action is to toggle the display of the application window - that is, if the application window is open already but is buried under a lot of other application windows, clicking the systray icon hides it. Often, what I want is that the application window brought forward, like the behavior with the dock icons. So, in my view, the default action when clicked on the icon in systray should be to bring the application window to the top. If the application window is already at the top of all the open windows, then clicking on the systray icon should hide it.

Is it just me with this crazy viewpoint? Is there a reason why it is they way it is; meaning it was a conscious decision on the part of the developers to make the systray icons behave the way they do? What does everyone else think?
