hmm, i'll look in to this. If you run the intranet launcher, the news
icon will disapear from the tray and it's menu will appear in the
Launcher. Exit seems to work fine from there, so it's probably the code
that checks and removes the menu from launcher that has gone wrong :-(

It doesn't have any detection of other instances at the moment so only
the first copy will get the web port. I need to add an option to set the
web port, or even make it dynamic as you don't really need to know it,
assuming you use the launcher that is ;-)
