So I guess you find every DVD player, stereo, VCR, microwave oven, computer monitor, cell phone, and MP3 player (other than Rockbox) annoying. Different strokes for different folks, I guess: I certainly would not want anyone to be forced to use something they find irritating. Still, I would like the option of having Rockbox UI act like virtually every other piece of consumer electronics on the planet.
It probably sounds like I am complaining now, and I'm not: perhaps your comment aroused my defensive instincts. I am just saying that the normal, expected behavior is that a device goes back to its default screen after a timeout, and I, personally, would prefer to have that option in Rockbox. For what little that may be worth, coming as it does from someone who has contributed nothing to the project.

I /would/ find it very annoying if my cellphone or dap did it. The microwave to a lesser extent. The reason for that is that I'm never (or extremely rarely) forced to put the microwave in my pocket to continue setting the cooking time later. A dap or cellphone is a tool used on the go and that means you cannot always be paying full attention to it. Sometimes it's better to just pay attention to the surrounding world and continue later where you were.
I know many cellphones and daps works like you describe, but that doesn't make it any more right in my opinion.
Also, having a timeout doesn't eliminate the need for a dedicated button. You still have the "I want to go to WPS *NOW* situation"

What an over generalisation - NONE of the items I own in the above list act as you describe - when I enter the menu, it STAYS in the menu until I say otherwise, and that's the way I like it!

The only device I have that leaves the screen I left it in is my phone, and that's because I've explicitly set it to lock the screen when I leave it for a certain period of time. Unfortunately the screen lock sucks, and restores it to the 'main' phone screen, rather than locking but leaving you in the other screen, so when I unlock it I have to get back to where I was.

I own a DVD player, stereo, VCR, microwave, computer monitor, mobile phone, and three mp3 players, and none of them do what you are describing - they all stay where I put them.

What a massive generalisation! I have not owned a single device you mention that does this. I don't know where you are from, but consumer electronics that I am familiar with (in the UK), do not do this. I leave my phone in a menu, it stays there. Same with everything else.
