If qemu has not grabbed my mouse/keyboard (and maybe if it has, I wouldn't be surprised) 
it will, when running under whatever passes for a window manager on my laptop these days, 
quit without hesitation, deviation or repetition when I press Alt-F4. There are places in 
the world where "Are you sure?" messages should be taken out and tortured 
before being shot. This is not one of them.



If you will insist on using a desktop environment that's a half-arsed cheap 
knock-off of Windows, you shouldn't be surprised if it manages to suck even 
harder than Windows.

This sounds like a delightful re-implementation of the decision which
dumps out help text (or --help text) to stderr, meaning one has to
jump through hoops in order to read more than the last screen's worth
of it.
