It *does* seem to me like developers are just waiting for people to forget this. Just asking for a stupid option is not enough. It seems that the only viable alternative is a fork. I will not do this anyway, because I have better things to do. However I can't but notice the lack of any will to dialogue with users. In ubuntu we have transmission and pidgin installed by default. They make a certain use of the notification area. Then, we have rhythmbox. It makes a different use of the notification area. Nobody wants to comment on this except for saying "things are not going to change". I personally don't see why I should see a notification icon disappear when I close a window that I open clicking on it. Its not logical. NO ubuntu application does this by default. Looking for examples? The blue round pair of arrows that signals that you need to reboot the machine. It's in front of me right now. I click on it, and it tells me to reboot. I have NO WAY to make it disappear. Very cool. I can only reboot my machine or keep the thing there forever. Closing the window won't make the notice disappear. And it is a notification, after all. As that is a "notification area" the notice should disappear after I ack it. Instead, there is no way. For normal applications, that are not just notices, like pidgin or transmission, it's not even under question that the application should quit when I close the window. Why? Because I can open the window clicking on the icon, then the window is seen as *dependent* from the icon. So how it is that I can open a window clicking on a symbol on the screen, and then I can make the symbol on the screen disappear by closing this dependent window? Take the mixer, the network icon and so on. There is no other application I can see installed by default, that shows a symbol in the upper right corner of the screen, that exhibits the following behaviour: 1) click on the symbol 2) close the window that appears 3) see the symbol disappear. The only application that does this is rhythmbox. Please just acknowledge this. And now say that I am unpolite and I don't respect free software. I just don't respect being mercyless ignored for months and years and having to fork a package just for the sake of people I install ubuntu to. -- Window close should close, not quit https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38512 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
