So, an app can be kept running without any windows open then? Like on a

WINDOW in app-menu, NEW DOCUMENT in window-menu?

just being the devil's advocate... I have often quit my browser when I
wanted to just close the current window. I don't think that's an issue
with QUIT. Quit should kill the app. the X button should close the
window. Maybe the app should quit it's self if there are no windows
left...

If we're going to have apps running with no windows then we need a way
for users to see what's running - as opposed to what's open. QUIT would
need to be both in the app-menu AND the context menu for apps in the
dash... or something like that...

No, closing the last window of an app does not leave it running in the
background.
