So, an app can be kept running without any windows open then? Like on a Mac where all windows are closed but not the app? In that case, the app-menu would have QUIT, the window-menu would have CLOSE and SAVE, but then which one would have OPEN and NEW? would NEW be split? -> NEW WINDOW in app-menu, NEW DOCUMENT in window-menu? just being the devil's advocate... I have often quit my browser when I wanted to just close the current window. I don't think that's an issue with QUIT. Quit should kill the app. the X button should close the window. Maybe the app should quit it's self if there are no windows left... If we're going to have apps running with no windows then we need a way for users to see what's running - as opposed to what's open. QUIT would need to be both in the app-menu AND the context menu for apps in the dash... or something like that...
No, closing the last window of an app does not leave it running in the background.
