Exiting calibre - linux - no system tray?
This _has_ to be the stupidest newbie question ever, but I can't figure out how to exit calibre cleanly.
I couldn't find an exit button or an exit option from the menu, so I figured I hust had to just close the window. At one time this gave me a message saying that calibre would keep running in the system tray, and that I should choose exit from the system tray if I really wanted to quit (or something like that). Thing is, I'm running linux with a minimalistic window manager and I don't have a system tray. After closing the window and looking at the processes I see a bunch of processes: /bin/sh /usr/bin/calibre /opt/calibre/loader /bin/sh /opt/calibre/calibre-parallel /opt/calibre/loader /bin/sh /opt/calibre/calibre-parallel opt/calibre/loader killing one of the /opt/calibre/loader processes seems to get me rid of these, but that doesn't feel right... Is there a better way to do it? |

You an also use CTRL-Q to quit Calibre without it minimising to System Tray.

Thanks for the answers!
Maybe I'll look into trayer when I get my new laptop, but I'm not sure I would have much use for it... |

I use a minimal window management system based on a tiling windows manager I wrote myself, and I find trayer useful for a couple of apps like gajim and quassel

Sounds interesting indeed.
(I use ion3 myself as a window manager so our settings mustn't be _very_ different |
