How do you quit without a quit menu ?

I dont know if the packaging costs would be great. Certainly the plugin
system would not recquire much code (since it's easy to merge menus with
bonobo).

I never claimed it's all too hard. I just think the mantainance costs of
a developer plugin are a worth cost for a cleaner interface for non developers
(no need of a Tools menu), and easier access to functionality for developers
(no Developer submenu in Tools). This is just my opininion, I see.

My fault here, I missed the part about the menus ... It's not an hack.
