Comment 49 for bug 38512

If the patch has been merged upstream (I don't care if using a plugin) then I am fine with that. For consistency with other applications, this should be enabled by default but I guess you can't ask too much. What I understood in principle was that the patch had not been accepted upstream, if it is, it will get into ubuntu soon or later.

Thank you for clarifying this. By the way I am now happily using the plugin at http://methlab42.itee.uq.edu.au/~jonathan/rhythmbox-plugins/dontreallyclose/ . To use it (I had to guess the machinery) you have to create a directory named "plugins" in .gnome2/rhythmbox and copy both the files there.
