Well, sometimes one need to change things to make it clearer, and the
new quit-binding is written on the top help line anyway.

That was changed with 1.3 afaik. I also much prefer 'q' for exiting
(more consistent with other apps), but I changed that within a minute,
and I _really_ like the quick reminder tool, I just mapped it to 'a'
(add reminder).

Nobody _needs_ them, nor do I use them, but it's really very
frustrating, _if_ you like them, and there is just one application
misbehaving. And the change is not only for transparent
shell-background, but also for people who use blue/green whatever
backgrounds, where the 'background' resource is not the same as color0
in the .Xdefaults file.
