Wait, wait, wait... have I been living in a cave? We're *abandoning* the idea of having Quit in the menu?! I've read MPT's article before. I like most of his points. Crufty interfaces abide. But I don't exactly see how quit falls into that category. What happens when you close all windows of Galeon? Does it "quit"? Does it stay persistent in memory? Are we moving to a "Close All Windows" scheme? What if you're in the GIMP? Does "Close All Windows" close the toolbox? I read the thread posted in Jeffrey's bug. I still am not really clear why we're doing this. It seems to break a lot of user expectations. -jag On Wed, 2003-03-19 at 12:21, Dave Bordoley wrote: > Also see http://mpt.phrasewise.com/stories/storyReader$374 for a fairly > good reason why quit (among other interface cruft) is useless (and > fairly destructive) to the majority of users who don't care about > clearing HTTP Authorization passwords and discarding non-persistent > session cookies. > > Dave > > P.S.
