Go to Tools->system preferences->interface, and change the system tray icon preference according to your needs. I am basing this on gaim 2.0.0b5, as this has changed in the last week or so!

Click the system tray icon to hide the buddy list, then click it again to make it reappear. It should disappear from the task bar. You have to do this every time. Important have the system tray icon set to always show. If not you can minimize the buddy list and not be able to get it back when the task bar and system tray icon both disappear.

Uhmmm.... I kind of meant in the Windows TaskBar, where it says Buddy List, not the system tray.
I know that the plugin Extended Preferences used to do this, but it doesn't seem to work with the beta just yet.
