I recently ran into something that may help. I launched an image viewer from Mathematica. Later I couldn't open another License and almost called wr. Turns out: processes launched by Mathematica count as Mathematica in some respects. (when i closed the image viewer I got to launch another Mathematica no problem) Maybe you close is grey because there is a running process that cannot be notified / is ignoring messages. I'm unsure which of / why OS/X and Mathematica 9 check / do menu greying for Quit. That is the key of course. Sure maybe save is could be greyed if there are no changes to save. But Quit??
