I disagree that it's the WM's job to ask for exit confirmation on the programs' behalf... It's nice to have a WM that can do that when needed, but it's far from a standard feature. And how can it be absurd to ask for confirmation on exit when so many programs do ask?... (Konsole for example) I understand that it's not something everyone will find useful, which is why I imagine it as an option (URxvt*confirmExit: true) that defaults to false, leaving standard behaviour untouched. _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
