I haven't altered mine. It's just as minimyth comes. I'm not sure what
you mean by "Exit immediately" but I'm guessing you mean there's a
setting where the frontend exits without putting up the confirmation
dialog. I find it hard to believe that mine is using that setting
because I see no effect at all from "Exit" on the home screen,
and I can't imagine it's exiting and then restarting fast enough
to leave not even a flicker. Maybe I've misunderstood what you
were saying.
