	Well, I just did a little informal tests in the office.  (I went
up to people and said:  Looking at the picture of this application, how
would you quit the program?)  EVERYONE said the footprint.  The president
of the company was a little confused by the whole thing...  But then he
admitted that he had trouble with the apple menu too.  :^)  

	I thought about making it raise.  But I liked having it look like
a button normally.  Maybe it should lighten when a mouse is over it?
(Doh!  I forgot the little arrow pointing down!)
