?? Not only can I honestly say I've never had that problem, but I find the 
whole idea of it very strange. Are you certain that your mouse or window 
manager isn't just acting up?

You've got to be kidding me, that would be just as bad. Why would I want to 
have a program get rid of the standard "exit" mechanism? Whever I come 
across an app like that, the first thing I do is open the task manager and 
kill it, and then immediately uninstall it.

In this particular case, that's exactly the same thing. It's the 
"close"/"exit" button. If it doesn't "close"/"exit" then it's been 
re-tasked. Either to "minimize to tray" or to "noop" or whatever.
