Correcting me directly would help more. After all we are discussing usability 
points, and if something is not clear it only shows that something can be 
improved.

This rule isn't consistent among all KDE apps, otherwise we wouldn't discuss 
this very matter here now nor would you need to correct me.

I don't see how you intend to improve usability among clueless users if you 
think there is a need to teach people about the correct way Close/Quit work. 
If something isn't obvious UI wise then it's a usability issue. And this is 
the usability list, so can we please talk about how to resolve these 
usability issues?
