Behaviour of KSystemTray Quit

[Henrik (Mauritz) Johnson]

  Ok, hmm. I'm assuming you mean that we should close the windows like 
they are done now AND emit the signal. That way you can still ignore or 
hide the window into the system tray and still connect the quitSelected 
signal to your appropriate quit slot on your application. Good idea, 
I've attached a patch that does exactly this. Just say the word and I'll 
commit it.
