Comment from the developer: "The behaviour in question is introduced by an Ubuntu patch. Without this, rhythmbox will always quit when the window is closed.
As far as I'm concerned, applications should never do this type of thing. Either window management should work well enough that users don't feel the need to close windows for background type applications to get them out of the way, or the window manager should implement this sort of feature for all such applications so it's consistent." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875002 Title: choosing quit from unity launcher doesn't close rhythmbox if music is playing Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: To reproduce: Start rhythmbox.
