Mackenzie: in _every_ application I know, including firefox, the X in the upper right corner of the window, closes the application. It would be very inconsistent to have a different behaviour for one application. I think there is very good reason here, usability-wise, to deviate from this bad upstream decision.
You mention firefox: it provides a close button for a tab which closes the current document. Similarly openoffice has a "close this document" button at the end of the menu bar. Gimp could implement something like this if it wants to provide this functionality, but it should not completely change the functionality of a button that does the same in all applications desktop wide. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gimp In gimp 2.6, pressing the close button in the title bar only closes the - current document when one is open, it does not close the application as - expected. + current document when exactly one document is open, it does not close + the application as expected. Instead it pops up a new so called "empty + image window". This is completely inconsistent with all other + applications.
