looks good, but one remark on 1/5 Add a "Run task in background"  button 
to make users feel safer :

i guess this would confuse those users, who already clicked the 'X'
and know it will continue the task.
they probably will now think that the 'X' cancels/stops the task
which is not what we want them to think

i would instead propose trying to use a '-' in the corner,
to symbolize only 'minimizing' instead of closing
