Sure, is better.

Are you referring when an app is closed, and this have windows
miniaturized?. I had not thought of this. But, I think that something
like this is enough on terminate: method 

NSWindow *win;
NSEnumerator *windows = [[NSApp windows] objectEnumerator];

while((win = [windows nextObject]))
{
 if([win isMiniaturized])
   {
     Remove window from taskbar
   }
}
