Please see my reply to Martijns' original post on kde-devel (I do not hav=
e=20
write acces to kde-core-devel).
In short: An application with a ksystray icon is not supposed to exit whe=
n all=20
windows are closed (according to the styleguide), so closeAllWindows() sh=
ould=20
not quit the application and thus is of no use here.

Cheers.
