Always keep an application open
I remotely connect to my computer at home with an application called TeamViewer. When TW launches it opens a window which provide login information. If you close that window, TW quits. You can't keep the application open without the window.
Always keep an application open
Badly designed port of a windows app. You should write the developers and tell them that this is un-Mac-like behavior and they should fix it.

Always keep an application open
You'd be surprised. I'm always seeing people over in the forums who share their user accounts with friends, college roommates, random acquaintances. People, I swear…
However, If you're already sharing a user account with your family (and I assume this is a desktop that doesn't travel out of the house where other people could get physical access), then putting a password on your work account would just be to keep your kids/spouse out of it - it wouldn't really be needed for security reasons (unless you're worried about someone breaking into your house late at night so they could update their facebook page). That being said, if you're going to have an account with no password, do not under any circumstances make it an administrator account or put it on the sudoers list. That would just be dumb.

Actually, this is a common behavior for applications that won't open more than one window at a time. For instance, Apple's own iPhoto, System Preferences, Dictionary and Calculator will quit on closing the window. |
