The demographic this request is catering to is a small percentage of 
users: the ignorant demoer with good intentions.  I'll admit we should 
try to make things nicer for them, though.

I think I need to better understand how the user got into this 
situation.  How did the person enable magnification?  What button did 
they press or checkbox did they check or command did they run?

Well....Alt+F4 is out of the question.  That's for killing windows with 
focus.  I suppose we could make up a new command, but we already have 
one -- Insert+Space to bring up the Orca Preferences dialog.  If the 
user knows that, they already know a bit about Orca, though.

The Orca main window typically appears by default and the user usually 
has to go out of their way to disable it.  So, I guess I need to know 
more about what the user did to start Orca+magnifier and what, if any, 
windows appears on the desktop.
