Generally speaking fixing bug 1674749 (now bug 1671424) should be enough for most apps in the short term.
I'm reminded of how Microsoft handles this problem... WM_CLOSE: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/windows/desktop/ms632617(v=vs.85).aspx WM_QUIT: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632641(v=vs.85).aspx "The WM_QUIT message is not associated with a window and therefore will never be received through a window's window procedure." WM_POWERBROADCAST: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/windows/desktop/aa373247(v=vs.85).aspx WM_ENDSESSION: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en- us/library/windows/desktop/aa376889(v=vs.85).aspx Each has a valid use case, and I don't think we can get away from similarly wanting a 'quit' message in Mir eventually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624407 Title: Add a 'quit' message that is app-wide, as opposed to mir_event_type_close_surface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1624407/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
