Irrelevant. The issue was quitting a single app. Logging out has other considerations. And I don't care if *you* hate such behaviour, but I've had my backside saved so many times by Firefox' "You are about to close 47 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?" inquiry that that alone was worth the update to the version that introduced it (1.0?), several times over. It does give the option of disabling that dialog permanently if you really want that for some unfathomable reason. That Safari just drops dead when you ask it to without even giving the rest of us an option to ask back is hateful, period. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>;
