Created attachment 1852 Possible fix When the systray icon is disabled and the panel plugin not loaded, clicking the cross in the window title bar closes the Orage window but it does not quit the process. Orage is still running in the background but not accessable anymore (except for starting a new instance). I wish it would completely quit when clicking the cross in the title bar as it does with File->Quit. Find the attached patch as a possible solution.
Even without systray and panel plugin, Orage is still accessible 1) from os level orage command as you said and 2) from parameter settings. This has been discussed earlier a few times and the idea really is that after starting up, Orage stays alive and handles alarms. It can only be killed from the exit menu selection. The main window is just one of the windows of Orage and closing that closes only the window, not the whole application. Similar to closing the event list or weekly windows. It would be possible to either add a parameter to change this behaviour or add a question to the main calendar close action "do you want to hide or exit?", but I am not sure it is worth the trouble? Why would somebody use Orage without alarms? If you do not use panel plugin nor the systray icon, you probably are not using Orage at all?

IMO a parameter to quit Orage by clicking on the cross would be cool but not strictly necessary. > Why would somebody use Orage without alarms? > If you do not use panel plugin nor the systray icon, you probably are not using > Orage at all? Yes, to be honest I only use Orage as a quick access to the calendar, I don't use most of its features like alarms and stuff. I just don't need it. But I do agree with you that my usage is probably quite uncommon and I think I will write a little application for myself which simply shows a main window including a GtkCalendar widget. This probably does the best for me and doesn't bloat Orage :).
try zenity --calendar from shell. : )
Ah no, zenity pulls in gnome-dependencies, at least on Debian Lenny. This sucks, won't install any Gnome crap just because of a calendar widget :). Thanks anyway, I'll just hack a little window with a GtkCalendar in it.
you can quit Orage also from the main window by pressing control-Q.
