if it doesn't "quit", don't call it quit.
That's the law of correspondence.

Please simply correct the label to "close" wherever you know that it doesn't 
make the process tree of an application's pid quit.
This is already known to be valid for the quicklist "quit" entries of 
Rhythmbox, Empathy and Transmission.

It is clearly wrong to afford a button labeled "Quit", well knowing that it 
will NOT make anything quit. We're actually cheating the user, some people 
consider this a security issue, some might consider it an intrusion.
This is trivial, so it needs to be fixed wherever reported.

Analysing the dependency tree of a pid together with its associated
frontend application and window set is a whole other task, which has
nothing to do with labelling a button or list item correctly.
