Yes.  But the scenario is this:

      * The shell starts up, does not show any window, tells the mailer
        to handle "mailto:";.

      * The mailer pops up the composer window.

      * The shell is still running at this point, although it has no
        windows of its own.

      * User sends message, composer goes away.

      * There are no windows on the screen, so the user expects
        Evolution not to be running anymore.  So the correct thing to do
        would be for the shell to quit, but currently there is no way
        for the shell to realize that.
