Bug Description

ubuntuone-client 0.1~9.04-1189-1
ubuntuone-ppa 2009.04.15-0ubuntu1
ubuntuone-storage-protocol 0.1+bzr29~trunk-0ubuntu1.9.04

After clicking the MUCH appreciated "Quit" function from the applet, the ubuntuone-syncdaemon application still remains active. I would assume if I quit, that the daemon would stop running. If this is the intended action, then perhaps the option should be changed from "Quit" to "Close Applet" or a message displayed before exit indicating the daemon will remain active.

We won't actually be able to cause ubuntuone-syncdaemon to no longer exist in the process table (for very long any way). The nautilus extension also connects to it via dbus, and so operations in nautilus could very easily cause it to be started again, even if we do cause it to exit.

changing this to "Close" or something seems reasonable. Not a beta1 blocker.

If its not going to make the *sync* daemon go away, perhaps call it 'Hide' rather than something that implies 'activity will stop', which is what 'quit' and 'close' and other similar verbs do.

Also perhaps consider having some way to shut it down and keep it shut down (or preferrably make it _really_ lightweight when disconnected). 'mv' + kill to make it stop using resources is rather ugly.

The applet now also quit the syncdaemon when quit is clicked.
But if the Ubuntu One folder is opnened in nautilus it will start the daemon again...but that might be a different bug ;)
