I use fluxbox, and this shortcut closes all windows for me (having 
qjackctl in the system tray) ;)

Mod4 Shift a :CloseAllWindows

Sorry, but I can't dive in the technical discussion. The only thing I 
can say as a user is that I think Torben did a good job so far. 
JackSession kills a lot of disadvantages when it comes to working with 
JACK, especially when creating music. I do understand that people might 
have good reasons for not working on / supporting something they think 
is wrong. The question is whether this missing quit-without-save 
function makes JackSession wrong enough to not support it, also 
considering the obvious benefits Linuxaudio users have when applications 
support JackSession.

It might be good if Torben joins the discussion about the good and the 
bad and the missing things of JackSession at the moment (see also 
message by Emanuel).

Kind regards,
