Please do NOT introduce preferences or plugins or whatnot for just plain wrong behaviour. This has to be fixed, because it is a bug and that's all. If Rhythmbox gets a preference for this kind of behaviour, then every program should have one. Or why shouldn't they? Either make RB behave like the other programs or make the other programs behave like RB. Right now on Ubuntu there is this weird mix between OS X-like application-based behaviour where closing the app's window does not end the program and the Windows-like window-based opposite.
Please, read this article by Joel Spolsky about introducing preferences, which fits in here perfectly: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000059.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875002 Title: choosing quit from unity launcher doesn't close rhythmbox if music is playing Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: New Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: To reproduce: Start rhythmbox.
