If I get it right, you want to see only the 'Exit' button and pressing which XBMC should exit to show the desktop. If you are using XBMC Eden with confluence skin, you can do this by editing the 'DialogButtonMenu.xml' file under 'C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\skin.confluence\720p'. Set the visibility of the button controls you don't want to see to 'false' as in <visible>False</visible>

Either do as I mentioned above, or in the iMon software map that button to quit XBMC. It has been a while since I setup an iMon remote, so I can't remember exactly how to do it. I remember something in the iMon where the different apps can have buttons assigned to whatever you want them to do. The one I last setup sent keyboard commands, which means instead of editing the remote.xml file you need to edit the keyboard.xml file.

If possible you should send the XBMC command to quit. This will be a more graceful close than doing an Alt+f4.

Global is the proper section. I just edited my post above mentioning that. Have you tried it on a basic key without any key mods?
