<HTML>well not forever in this case would mean till next reboot/relogin ;)
I use StrokeIt mostly to maximize/minimize/close windows all of the time (btw. it is GREAT!), and i saw that if you use the 'close' gesture on the startmenu (e.g. 'closing' the programs menu) the menu won't show up again;
it's simply gone.. no matter if i press the start button or use the keyboard key.
(Closing Startmenu through windows itself with ALT+F4 is not possible, because once you press the alt key, the startmenu would hide, so it would be nice to 'disable' the close/alt+f4 option within startmenu if possible)</HTML>
