Perhaps add an exit-options tab to the app-finder rofi?
Either to open a list of exit options or just open the exit-options app directly.

I don't have conky listed in my apps file. What do you mean by this?

Could we (possibly) populate the games category? XFCE and KDE come with some games pre-installed.

I installed kgames which only used 2,174k disk space and comes with 15 games.
Description: Venerable selection of Xaw-based games
These are a selection of various games that use the Xaw toolkit. They are all from the 80's and 90's and look the part.
As a result, they are also very lightweight. There are a bunch of solitaire (patience) variants, mille bournes, cribbage and dominos.
