xfce4-taskmanager is not quited on using window decoration x for closing

[Sasa Paporovic]

On Xubuntu 12.10 64bit:

When using the x of the taskmanager window decoration (x beside + for maximizing and - for minimizing in the right upper corner of the taskmanager window), the program is not quited, only the window of it is closed. It is just minimized to the taskbar and keeps still alive.

A manually closing with rigth click on the taskmanager icon in the taskbar and using the "Quit" option which pops up ends the program.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Start xubuntu
2.using menu -> Systemf -> Task Manager
3.Closing the task manager with x from taskmanager window decoration
4.See the taskmanager window closing
5.See the taskmanager icon still in the xfce taskbar -> the program is still runnig

Expected behaviour:

A closing attempt with the x from window decoration of the taskmanage should quit the program completely.

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.
It's done on purpose (to keep monitoring things and update the graphes). If you dislike this behavior, you can uncheck "Show status icon" in Preferences, and it will behave as expected.

Aha,

it is by design.

It just made problems because after some time of working on the Xubuntu system I had several instances of the taskmanager running without recognizing until the taskbar become overwhelmed with monitor symbols in a manner that I must recognize.

It is o.K like it is. Just for xfce4 newbies it is obfuscating.
