Hi,

Yep, this was on my list to do... when you have "temp saving" enabled  
every few minutes, it doesn't harm to save another time on quit.

Two related issues:
- multi user systems won't work, but any user can define its own 'temp'  
directory in the user menu
- will add a new load option in file menu to load this quit.blend file.

Offering a choice at exit "do you want to save unsaved work" is only  
useful when it really makes sense to ask... still, I rather then build  
a convention that blender *always* saves at exit, and *always* loads  
this at start. That's much closer to the philosophy Blender was built  
on.
