The thing is that the menu is quite full already. And there will be an
"information" or something like that menu item too when we have the info
dialogs. Adding a Quit item too would, in my opinion, clutter the menu
just a bit too much. All the other actions in the menu are used a lot,
Quit is used only once, and as the menu is rather cluttered with both
info and quit items added I see not including quit as a sensible
solution. Seen most people don't quit muine 20 times a day, but more
likely once or never, I don't see the big problem ..
