Hi,
The implemented solution (as of Secrets 1.0b18) is actually not working. The 
Quit button is a very good idea 
for all applications, but not for Front Row (and also Dashboard in fact).
Indeed, sending the quit apple event to Front Row simply does not work. To 
verify:
  1. Launch Front Row
  2. Exit Front Row with the escape key (or the remote menu button)
  3. Enable or disable HD trailers setting in Secrets
  4. Click the Quit button in Secrets
  5. In Terminal: $ps ux | grep "Front Row" ---> Front Row is still running!
It means that Front Row will not be aware of the new settings set by Secrets as 
they are read at launch time.

Moreover, the Quit button for Front Row is very misleading for users. Indeed, 
Front Row is a hidden process 
so a user might wonder: "Why the hell should I quit Front Row? It's not even 
running!"

That's why I think my proposed solution - using the Process Manager API and 
kill(2) - is the best way to go as 
it addresses both above mentioned issues: Front Row will actually be terminated 
and users won't have to click 
the Quit button for an application that is not running from their point of view.

I'll consider adding a special option to kill the app on changes.

As of Secrets 1.0.5, the problem as described in my comment #2 remains entirely.

Like the Dock, Front Row relaunches even after the kill. So the ps command is 
pointless.

As of Mac OS X 10.5.8, Front Row does not relaunches after it is killed. I have 
not tested on 10.6.
