Subject: Re: [9front] dangerous Exit menu item in sub-rio
Reply-To: 9front@9front.org
Precedence: bulk

maybe it still has, but mothra used to switch its cursor to a skull=E2=80=99=
n crossbones if Exit was selected - to indicate another B1 click was needed t=
o confirm the exit, any other mouse button to cancel the exit.
