 It sounds like a great feature, but I think it should be put only in the 
MainWindow client, and no others.  We dont' want it triggering in the panel 
applet or kpart in another app.

   This causes a bit of a problem because the qtvision library (anything in 
the toplevel directory) is used in all the clients.  You don't want a user 
trying to call exit() in a kpart in konqueror, for instance.  If you can move 
all of the code (literally all of it) into just the mainwindow client files, 
then I would definitely apply it to CVS.  To exit, just call 
QApplication::exit().
