well
1) it's auto generated
2) it's exactly the same for all apps (so that user knows when he clickes
   it ... what will be there)
3) it's not the way to do something in the program, it's a way to do sometime
   either outside or with the program (exit is a quantitatively different
   function then "Save"
4) the foot menu would look cool

just because they wrongly used to be in file and help menus doesn't mean
they ever belonged there ...
