Thanks for your bugreport.

I feel that it would be a bit of a waste to have a file menu with just
"File/Quit" in it. The gnome HIG seems to support this:

"""
If your application does not operate on documents, name this item for the type
of object it displays. For example, many games should have a Game instead of a
File menu. However, place the Quit menu item last on this menu nonetheless.
"""

Settings does still not sound right for a quit menu item, so it's probably best
to add a "File" menu (unless someone comes up with a better solution).

Cheers,
 Michael
