If no other window is in the foreground, alt+f4 should prompt the logout window.
Not sure where this report belongs, but not the panel, i would think. Perhaps the window manager could do something when no window has focus?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. alt+f4 sends a WM_DELETE_WINDOW to the currertnyl focused window, and the panel is (should) not (be) focused by default, so it cannot receive the WM_DELETE_WINDOW message.
Humm, lemme think about it though... Maybe I can do something.
"If no other window is in the foreground" sounds like xfdesktop has the focus. So shouldn't this be handled by xfdesktop?

Yep, but what happens if icons are enabled?
Nothing. xfdesktop ignores WM_DELETE.
That's what I mean... xfdesktop should probably tell xfce4-session to display the logout dialog.
Right... but isn't that confusing? If desktop icons are enabled, it'll work, but not if they're disabled. And I dislike having xfdesktop accept focus when icons are disabled, because there's zero point of having a focusable desktop, and it seems like it would be annoying. Not that I'm totally attached to that behavior, so I don't mind changing it.
I doubt that it'll confuse many people.
Well, FYI it's been implemented in the window manager and it works since version 21727 commited earlier this morning, so I guess that bug should be considered as fixed.
How does the window manager tell whether the ALT+F4 should be "send" to xfce4-session or to the focused application?

But indeed, the focus should return to the desktop if no other window can have it, so I fixed that too. In the end, if xfdesktop is running, then it should call the session_logout() on WM_DELETE_WINDOW event too...

I really don't like that.
Ehm, accidentally hitting alt+F4 is always bad, no matter if the desktop is focused.
Ok, implemented. So this should be fixed then.
