The patch behaves that way, too: the only ways to terminate the galeon
shell is to eitheir select the "File->Exit" menuitem, or give a
"galeon --quit" on the commandline.

It is not any harder than with the stock galeon servermode: with
--resident, you know that closing a galeon window can not close the
galeon shell, even if it was the last window. Just as with --server.

I used to run galeon --server from my ~/.xinitrc: that required me to
have two different wm menuitems: "galeon" and "galeon --server", the
latter being used to restart the server when it died unexpectedly.

With the patch, only one wm menuitem, keybinding, icon, or whatever is
needed to handle Galeon: "galeon --resident". Someone used to open a
new Galeon window in a single shortcut won't have to do anything
different if it crashed.

Moreover, "File->Exit" wasn't exiting server mode. It does exit
resident mode.
