I am currently using the Amazon Fireplace as the sacrificial app and it loops around when I hit Quit. I use the Fire TV Home button to exit XBMC. The light on the Fire TV goes out after 30 minutes of non use indicating it is in sleep mode. Am I missing something in that XBMC is still running in the background when the Fire TV is in sleep mode?

When I'm finished with XBMC, I usually clear the cache and stop it from running (shut it down), before hitting the home button.

I've noticed if XBMC continues to run in the background, it can cause funny little things to happen to FTV whilst using other applications

What type of funny things can happen? I've not experienced any issues as of yet. I'll use the Classic TV app if I do encounter any disruptions in the operation of the Fire TV. I really dislike the look of the Classic TV logo, especially that ugly blue color. Rather not have to look at it at all.

You're welcome to scroll all the way down to settings, scroll all the way to applications, scroll all the way to XBMC (one of the last icons on the list) just so you don't have to look at an "ugly" icon.
