Probably because it doesn't actually have an app menu, so gnome-shell adds one with a single entry, which would do the same thing as closing (all of?) the app's windows. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

This question is something that has been on my mind too. Having an explicit way to stop an app from running in the background is interesting, but then I wonder how desirable it is to have an action to completely quit just once. I also wonder how obvious the function is. How does someone know that quit stops the app completely, whereas close doesn't? And would we just show quit in the case that an app runs in the background...? Another issue about quit which has occurred to me is that we show it in the dash context menus...
