+I agree with you Tommi... Further I think it would be nice if
+non-document-based-but-stateful-applications such as a Tetris game
+saved their state upon exit, similar to how they (should) currently do
+when called upon to exit with session management. This would
+completely eliminate any motivation to pop up an obnoxious "Do you
+want to exit?" alert.
