'--force-shutdown' has always seemed to me a kludge, effectively a tacit

I agree.
In defense of Evolution I haven't seen a component oriented application
that doesn't provide some escape clause [comparing Evolution to
Thunderbird is like comparing a 2010 Toyota Prius to a 1919 Model-T Ford
anyway; I know which I'd rather drive on the highway (and I own both)].
Hmm, I think you lost control of the analogy in there. Surely the Prius
should be safer and more reliable, especially when it comes to
braking :-)
The question seems reasonable to me if quitting [or even killing] the
GUI *should* stop the components since they are used by other things
[OpenOffice, the GNOME calendar widget, etc...]
Actually one of the main uses for --force-shutdown used to be to kill
the GUI when it resolutely refused to die. Doesn't happen much nowadays
but habits die hard.
