The usual rule is to make 1 exit routine (the > code that cleans up memory and releases it back to the system etc.) It really ought to close no matter which method you use (the right-most close X gadget, the left-most titlebar menu close, the file menu close, or ALT+F4), as users expect this. To do otherwise is to invite problems. There are some programs which deliberately don't exit when you close the window, as that window is only an interface to some of the program's features. e.g. Pop up windows in the web browser, the buddy list window in Gaim, etc. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
