If you dig this bug report instead of just posting obvious common sense,
you will find 

1) my patch without offering an option, that I made just to show it's a
one-line fix, 

2) a link to a patch that adds an option to rhythmbox

3) more recently even a plugin appeared

Ubuntu developers can and should fix usability and consistency issues
(as they do when they disable spatial mode by default in nautilus), and
it does NOT take too much of their time to just add a patch that an user
has provided. The plugin I am currently using already exists and is a
ten-liner including whitespace. It should be added to the ubuntu package
of rhythmbox and, you bet it, the ubuntu developers are the only pepole
entitled to do that.

We *have* been quiet and constructive for a long time in this bug
report. We have well explained the several reasons why a dependent
window should not quit an application, and we have provided the plethora
of examples that guide us in saying this is a bug in rhythmbox. I
personally insist because I care of the overall impression ubuntu gives
on users, and I would like more consistency in the user interface among
applications.

Saying that we have "tried to fix our issues by being vocal or rant" is
extremely unfair and does not correspond to the history of all the
comments that you have on your screen right now.
