10.4: Quit Front Row immediately

A recent hint mentions a way to exit Front Row quickly. Two other hints were submitted this week, offering solutions to Rob's request in the above hint, "If someone knows a real "quit Front Row *now*" shortcut, please share!"

Anonymous suggests the following:

Want to get out of Front Row quickly? The F11 key dumps you back to the desktop pretty quick!

And spvn suggests:

The only way i've found so far is to Command-Option-Escape while in Front Row. This would normally bring up the "Force Quit Application" window, but when you do it while Front Row is active, the program immediately quits, and the "Force Quit Application" window DOES NOT pop up.

[kirkmc adds: Now, since I don't have a Front Row compatible Mac (and I don't want to mess with the hack) I can't test this. Curiously, Front Row is installed on my Mac Pro, yet there's no way to activate it...]
