Bug Description
For a user there are three ways I know for quitting an application :
- File->quit
- Alt+F4
- Click on the cross of the window
- Right click on the icon in the dash and select quit
According to these 4 methods there are two cases to consider : either a music is played or not.
While not playing : the application is always unloaded from the memory whichever the way used (that is good)
While playing : only the quit option in the file menu really unload the application. The three others options rather hide the main windows (background play) so that :
- it is impossible to remove the application from the memory without opening a new window;
- it is difficult to predict what will be the behavior of closing the window or using the dash quit option.

This is actually a longstanding debate, but some users like the way rbox behaves: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ rhythmbox/ +bug/38512
Not everyone likes that behavior though (including me), so another bug was filed to add an option, but it doesn't look it's going to be fixed: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ rhythmbox/ +bug/875002
