But what does the "Close" in the file menu represent? Close the program,
or close the file currently being worked on? Currently in gEdit under the
File menu you have two separate options - Close, which is understood to
close the current document, and Quit (or Exit, I forget - same diff :) to
quit the program. I really like the idea of a separate program menu, but
it doesn't seem right to require a Close in the File menu that means close
the program... Sorry if I misunderstood you here, just looking for a
little clarification...
