I strongly agree with this sentiment.
I much prefer the clarity of a seperate Stop button.

Also I tend to drink too much caffeinated drinks and get a bit hyperactive
and twitchy and I'm in the habit of aiming wildly and double clicking
occassionally.  With two buttons my inaccuracy is a lot less annoying.

I know there are people specifically asking for a seperate stop button
(and things don't get added to the Guidelines on a whim).  Are there
people besides Hadess who really strongly dislike having a seperate stop
button?  As you are the maintainer of Totem it is up to us to convince you
to change but I'm not convinced by your suggestion that is is an
improvement.
