How about just a button, positioned somewhere on the bottom right, withthe text "Exit" on it?That would closely mimic the existing behaviour of platform dialogs,which is what this most closely resembles.

If you really want an icon next to the text, use the platform's closeicon (a small "x" on windows and ubuntu).

Hi all,

I tend to think we don't really need this...
* Android/iOS/Windows Phone don't need this (as Tor explained)
* MeeGo/Mer (sadly) currently doesn't have hardware industry partners
* Tizen is apparently all about HTML 5, so I don't know if it's even
realistic to port there. Also, it's vapourware so far.
* People using alternative WMs on Linux can probably use the menu bar.
Feel free to disagree.

A screenshot of LibO with patch applied is attached. I'll also add
that positioning the icon on the bottom right sounds like a better
idea than positioning it so close to extensions/templates/info.

In any case, we already have an icon called [sl]c_quit.png in
icon-themes/(theme)/cmd/ that should fit the purpose.

Regards,
Astron.
