Pressing "Esc" in main window should minimize, not try to quit.

[Olivier Cortès]

Binary package hint: gstm

When GSTM main window is shown and active, pressing "Esc" key shows a dialog "are you sure you want to quit (this will close all tunnels) ?". Based on the fact that gstm acts "like" a daemon (it should be always running in background to keep tunnels active), I suggest remapping "Esc" to minimize() instead of quit() or destroy(). This won't prevent quit to happen when user press the window manager shortcut (Alt-F4 in default config), and will IMHO improve usability ("Esc" is a shortcut to minimize in other apps like gajim, gaim, quodlibet and more).

This is in Feisty, last upgraded today.

This bug is still present in Gutsy beta.

This is a feature request, so perhaps the maintainers could mark it as "Wishlist" but I would vote for this change.

will work on this later on.

Here is a patch I use that makes it minimize instead of quit. To quit you must select quit in the tray menu

[Trochee (trochee)]

On reflection, other userspace daemon-like programs (workrave and twitux and pidgin are good examples) all minimize on alt-F4 instead of exiting the daemon (there's options to quit as well, but the standard close leaves it running in the tray).

I vote for Mattias' patch here, which I believe has the right behavior.

I created a gstm project in launchpad to be able to fix small issues I had. This issue and some others are included in this branch.
