Use file->exit from the menu?

In all seriousness, while I would agree with you if you made the
argument that  OO should responsibly handle signals and exit cleanly,
I don't think it's a tenable position to argue that you should be able
to depend on a clean exit when you essentially crash the program by
forcibly disconnecting it from the X server to which it's connected...
I know nothing about the code, but I can imagine that a program which
is so large and complex might make for tricky proper handling of
signals...

Like the doctor said, "Don't do that."
