Description
shamelessly quoting the HIG: "Don't add buttons for Help, Close or Quit to your toolbar by default, as these are rarely used and the space is better used for more useful controls. Similarly, only provide buttons for Undo, Redo and the standard clipboard functions if there is space on the toolbar to do so without sacrificing more useful, application-specific controls."
I would add to that the fact that the Quit button is already in the menus, and the fact that the window manager has a nice quit/close button in the titlebar that screams "use me! use me!".
At least, not in the desktop gtk version.

Personnally I think it should stay, it's useful on a touchscreen (operated via finger) in fullscreen mode :-)

I've been thinking about this more and have come to the conclusion that a minimise button would be more useful than a quit button in a carpc situation as it can be used to hide navit as to access other software.

maybe a minimize button should appear only when in fullscreen mode, then?

That button won't get removed until we need that space. As there are still people, who use the GTK gui on touchscreens it'll stay there (like Introspekt said).
Open for discussion. I don't mind removing it personnally.
